| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a parody of
post-impressionistic art.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and smell
march across
the
expanse
of the painting.
``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.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
