| Orientation: This
is a painting of objects arranged on a table. It has been painted in a
way that means we are never quite sure how the objects are positioned
in relation to each other. The objects are almost hidden within an apparent
jumble of colours and lines, but the title helps us decipher them. Going
clockwise, at 12 o'clock is a bowl of fruit, at 3 o'clock is a newspaper
and a bottle, at 6 o'clock is the fringed edge of a tablecloth hanging
between two table legs and in the centre is a violin with its neck pointing
towards 9 o'clock. |
