Robert Motherwell, Elegy to the Spanish Republic No. 110, 1971.Frame, composition, semantics
I would like to know what we can make of this in the light of this discussion about Visual Literacy and the semantics of composition when before we could see clearly the formal qualities of an image relate to the structures of grammar. Here we cannot rely upon geometry to help us out.
Q: When the grid is taken away from composition, what's left?
A: The Frame.
Framing is, therefore, our next port of call in this argument.
