Triangles within a Square 1971

Editor: This is Gordon House's "Triangles within a Square." It's a print, and I'm struck by the starkness of the geometric composition. What do you see in its arrangement? Curator: The linear precision is paramount. Note how the artist exploits the contrast between solid and void, employing line to define both the triangular forms and the surrounding square. Consider the structural interplay; does the internal geometry reinforce or challenge the stability of the square? Editor: I see the tension. The triangles point downwards, but the square contains them. It's like a controlled energy. Curator: Precisely. The formal elements dictate the reading. It's about the intrinsic visual experience, not external referents. Editor: So, the focus is on how the lines and shapes interact, not what they represent. I'm starting to see this with new eyes!
