| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the doodle into
the world of summer and winter.
Such forms, intensely variegated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The
essence of surrealism
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The
garnished
figure
indicates
not completely concrete.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of images strong
in insight and emotion.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
