Title | Affinities \ Wall |
Date | 1938-1940 |
Extent | 1 drawing |
Description | Drawing by Rudolf Laban in pencil and green crayon. 'Wall' is written in the bottom left corner. Dr Carol-Lynne Moore explains: 'The theory of affinities addresses harmonic relations between effort qualities and spatial trajectories. The simplest model is dimensional. Published models of the affinities only correlate qualities of weight, time, and space (focus) to dimensions and diagonals. These drawings extend the model, incorporating the element of flow and using transverse and peripheral inclinations of the icosahedron. The ball shape relates to weight; the arrow to flow; the screw to time; and the wall to space.' |
