| Description: |
An important part of this picture is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting dark and light of the work.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and taste
march across
the
emptiness
of this image.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the doodle into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
