Pretentious Yet Pointless
The prototype shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. A notable feature of this particular drawing is that it is in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation. The spectator is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the picture into the world of images steeped in meaning and emotive power. A deep underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the important thing is feeling, as such. Contrasts of night and day emphasise the broad scope of this image.
