| Description: |
In this sketch Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
dark and light.
The world of salt and pepper in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and poverty...
An interesting side of this work is the strongly
stretched
rapidly
reaching
components
contrasting strongly with
the world of bare hands and white wine of the picture.
``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] |
