The picture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.

| Description: |
A notable feature of the sketch is that it is a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
The
decorated
figure
enriches
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the picture into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
for
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
decorated
background
belies
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the drawing
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The picture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. |
