| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
similarity of summer and autumn...
A constantly
evolving
network,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always the same,
is always in a different form
by the essential fact
of the reviewer.
Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
It is important to understand that the
essence of surrealism
is that it encourages the artist
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
``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] |
