Description

From one of the most prominent founders of the Op Art movement, Richard Anuszkiewicz' serigraph is a vibrant spectre of color and precision, at once somehow muted and dazzlingly lively. This image is number 9 from his 'Inward Eye' suite of 10 serigraphs published by Aquarius Press in an edition of 500. Each impression, unsigned as issued, came wrapped in its own tri-fold folder with typset text featuring a different William Blake quote; the entire suite was originally encased in a lucite box. The quote chosen for this image reads:

"Thus were the stars of heaven created like a golden chain / To bind the Body of Man to heaven without falling through the Abyss. / Each took his station & his course began with sorrow and care.

"In sevens & tens & fifties, hundreds, thousands, nember'd all / According to their various powers, subordinate to Urizen / And to his sons in their degrees & to his beautious daughters, / Traveling in silent majesty along their order'd ways / In right lined paths outmeasur'd by proportions of number, weight,/ And measure, mathmatic motion wondrous along the deep, / In fiery pyramid, or Cube, or unornamented pillar square / Of fire, far shining, traveling along even to its destin'd end....

"Such the periods of many worlds. / Others triangular, right angled course maintain. Other obtuse, / Acute, Scalene, in simple paths; but others move / In intricate ways, biquadrate, Trapeziums, Rhombs, Rhomboids, / Parallelograms triple and quadruple, polygonic / In their amazing hard subdu'd course in the vast deep.

GOD is not a mathematical diagram.
