The Plough and the Stars 1974

Editor: This is "The Plough and the Stars" by Victor Pasmore, seemingly abstract and quite small. The shapes are really intriguing. What do you see in this piece, beyond the obvious title connection? Curator: Ah, Pasmore! He takes us on a cosmic wander, doesn't he? For me, it whispers of constellations plotted not just in the night sky, but within ourselves. Are those figures, or maybe just symbols dancing on the edge of recognition? It's playful, almost like visual poetry. Editor: Poetry, that’s a good way to put it. I was stuck on farming imagery, but the personal connection makes more sense now. Curator: Exactly! It's about feeling, isn’t it? Trusting your own emotional response to these visual cues. I'm always delighted to see how art can create new pathways in our minds.
