Autumn (trial proof) 1972

Editor: This is David Leverett's "Autumn (trial proof)." It's a mesmerizing pattern, almost like a quilt made of tiny, colorful triangles. What do you see in its structure and color choices? Curator: The composition reveals a fascinating interplay between order and chaos. The geometric grid provides a rigid structure, yet the textures and the vibrancy of the greens and reds create an optical experience. Notice how the artist uses color to disrupt the perceived flatness, creating a subtle illusion of depth. Editor: So, it’s not just a pattern but an investigation of how color affects our perception of form? Curator: Precisely. Consider how Leverett uses the inherent qualities of color and line to challenge our understanding of spatial relationships within a two-dimensional plane. What does the title "Autumn" suggest to you in relation to the colours? Editor: I hadn't thought about that. The greens and reds evoke the change of seasons. Curator: Indeed. The artwork encapsulates the ephemeral nature of autumn through its dynamic visual language. Editor: I see it now. Thanks for showing me how the colors and shapes create the feeling of autumn!
