| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
environment...
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the sketch into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
A constantly
evolving
evanescence,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
never changes,
is sometimes transformed
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
