| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of the drawing is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The
major feature of abstract art
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the work into
the world of invaluable cultural relics.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the doodle into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The
receding
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
celebration.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which in this way
float free.

``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
