Description:	Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create a strong interaction of forces. It is important to understand that the major feature of surrealism is that it encourages the viewer to understand form in terms of dimensionality, rather than weight. A notable feature of the work is that it is the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but unrecognizably altered. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the picture into the world of contrast of white wine and rolling sand. The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the work into the world of contrast of colour and space. Contrasts of night and day march across the foreground of the drawing. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the sketch into the world of images rich in meaning and emotive power. The artist avoids traditional proportions to shape the colours, which in this way float free. A deep underlying meaning of this doodle is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and sight so clearly visible. It is useful to note that the major feature of the Suprematist works is that it enables the artist to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. The garnished background indicates a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. ``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232]
