Art Animal No.X

In Art Animal No. 10 a fundamental duality is established by the division of the canvas into a black and a white segment. Apart from the more obvious racial connotations of this division, the white section thus designates the artist's present and tangible reality, while the black section represents the great stream of history, which is intangible, but real nonetheless. Through his creative act, the artist thus reaches out of his confinement to the "present" and connects with "eternity". (TH)
