[no title] 1971

Editor: Here we have an untitled work by Victor Pasmore. It looks like ink on paper, with these flowing lines converging at points, like water. What strikes you about this piece? Curator: The essence lies in the process. These lines, so carefully laid, evidence the labor and the artist's hand. Notice how the controlled application challenges the very notion of automatism usually tied to abstraction. Editor: So, you're saying the method is the message? Curator: Precisely. Pasmore isn't just depicting; he's demonstrating a conscious engagement with materials and production, blurring distinctions between art and the act of making itself. What do you think about that? Editor: That's a new way for me to consider art, thinking about the physical process and what that represents. Curator: Indeed! By focusing on the material reality, we gain insight into the artist’s intention and the broader social context of art production.
