拍品专文

The present work is a study for the larger oil, Opening, 1930-31, which Causey notes ‘In Opening the problem of the semi-abstract presentation of ideas drawn from Symbolist poetry, first posed in Coronilla, was solved through taut construction and detailed attention to the paint surface’ (see A. Causey, ibid., pp. 197-198, 238).
