| Description: |
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
A particularly contentious aspect of the image is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
``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] |
