| summary | The painting operates as a deliberate two-register structure: a representational upper third of coarse, sharp gabbro that convinces the viewer of a real place, followed by a pool of viridian and blue that gradually reveals itself as a dream. The rock is the most concrete passage on the sheet, with warm ochre planes modelled against cool violet-grey shadow and dark calligraphic fracture lines, and its credibility is what makes the water's departure from realism effective. The falls serve as a hinge between registers, their column of light descending from rendered water into a suggestive all-over field where evenly scaled marks give the eye no route to follow, producing the meditative pause the work intends. The left cliff is stronger than the right, whose repeated strokes at uniform size and angle thin the illusion the painting depends on. The saturated green foliage in the top-left corner works against the eye's descent into the pool. |
