[title not known] 1979

Curator: This is an untitled print by Victor Pasmore, part of the Tate collection, created in 1971. Editor: It feels strangely calming. The shapes are so simple, yet they have a quiet gravity, like celestial bodies drifting in space. Curator: Pasmore moved towards abstraction later in his career, drawn to the pure relationships of form and color. Think about the sociopolitical context of the 70s: artists were seeking new languages beyond representation. Editor: I like the tension between the organic forms and the geometric ones. It's as if he's suggesting a hidden order within the natural world. This piece makes me think about accessibility, as well—or the inaccessibility—of Pasmore’s work. Curator: Yes, a tension that invites us to contemplate the artist’s position in the modern world and how far he was looking ahead.
