| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this piece is the subtly
curved
quickly
reaching
elements
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate an image of the process of creation.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the carving into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
``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] |
