| Description: |
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the drawing into
the world of epistemology of area and
environment.
``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] |
