| Description: |
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
A notable feature of the drawing is that it is a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our physiology.
The
endless
curves
are
enjoined
in a parody of
misery.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
emphatically factual experience of
the senses of smell and taste
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
The world of beer and honey in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of area and
environment...
