| Description: |
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and touch
emphasise
the
broad scope
of the work.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images strong
in insight and emotive power...
``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] |
