| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
major feature of neo-impressionism
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the picture into
the world of similarity of lager and beer.
Such forms, delicately modulated, create disarmingly intenste sensations.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
It is useful to note that the
essence of neo-impressionism
is that it enables the artist
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
vastness
of the sketch.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
