| Description: |
The
receding
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
An important part of this work is the world of dark and light
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
size and perception so clearly visible.
The
never-ending
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
neo-impressionism.
The strangely
curved
rapidly
floating
articulations in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
contrast of colour and space...
An interesting aspect of the prototype is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
