| Description: |
The arena of contrasting dark and light in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
for
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
stand alone.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the understanding
of the onlooker.
``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] |
