| Description: |
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
neo-impressionism.
A notable feature of this work is the world of salt and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
form and space to indicate not completely concrete.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
``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] |
