Description

_partially_ an abstract fish
- of course the viewer may see what they prefer:
the essence of much modern art
and Blake said it best,
especially in regard to this work:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE TYGER

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

William Blake

What is this apropos of?
An exercise for the viewer...

why did you put a mature content filter on that??
it's an excellent piece, reminiscent of a wax crayon frottage - no this is not the right word but i can't remember it - when you cover the paper with different layers of way and then scratch with different pressure to make the underlaying colour visible ... hmm.
