| Description: |
Such forms, serene and majestic, create a strong interplay of forces.
A temporally
changing
network,
the essential identity
of which
never changes,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the onlooker.
A particularly contentious aspect of the doodle is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. ``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
