Pretentious Yet Pointless
In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, empty: the significant thing is feeling, as such. A particularly contentious aspect of the sculpture is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang. In neo-impressionism, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the here and now experience of size and perception contrasting strongly with the world of sugar and wine of the painting. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism representing strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The receding curves are enjoined in a homage to celebration.
An interesting side of this image is the emphatically factual experience of form and space contrasting strongly with the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
``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''
