| Description: |
A notable feature of the image is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdummering,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is always in a different form
by the perception
of the viewer.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
It is useful to note that the
essence of abstract art
is that it enables the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
