| Description: |
The world of light and dark in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural icons...
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
individuality
of this drawing.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
