From a distant perspective, the grand scale of the work, with its bright highlights and dark shadows, draws the viewer in with its depth and three-dimensionality. Spread across the canvas, the large geometric shapes emerge from the background and are interspersed by vibrant flecks of color. Upon closer inspection, the chalky impasto becomes beautifully apparent. Pousette-Dart’s application of bright pigments in short strokes evokes the Pointillist surfaces of modern masters Paul Signac and Georges Seurat Indeed, Pousette-Dart has compared his paintings to analog photographs where one can see the “grain” of the image. In Pointillist paintings, similar to Pousette-Dart’s camera analogy, the individual “dots” of paint dissolve into the work, just as the black and white of a grainy gelatin silver print call attention to the flatness of the image. In masterpieces such as the present work, Pousette-Dart pushes the boundaries of this phenomenon by emphasizing the unique three-dimensionality of his painted surfaces. Pousette-Dart’s distinctive use of impasto showcases his association with “The Irascibles”, the legendary group of American Abstract Expressionists whose members included Robert Motherwell Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko all of whom explored the relationship between paint application and the support. Pousette-Dart describes this balance, which he expands to encapsulate his poetic approach to painting: “I strive to express the spiritual nature of the universe. Painting for me is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real” (Richard Pousette-Dart quoted in Art in America , November-December, 1974).
