| Description: |
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In the Suprematist vision,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the image into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
