Pretentious Yet Pointless
The essence of post-impressionistic art is that it encourages the artist to understand the composition in terms of area, rather than odour. An interesting side of this particular image is that it is the sensuality of extinction. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form.
``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.''
