Andrey Remnev Russia, 1962
23 x 23 in
A piece of blue fabric symbolizes the sky. The needle piercing the sky is a symbol of an aggressive intervention in the elements of the sky. The painting also refers to the ancient question “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? “
The question is related to the medieval theology of the scholastic school, where the most famous figure is St. Thomas Aquinas, 13th century Christian philosopher and Dominican friar.
It is a philosophical question and an elegant pun at once. "Needles point" - "needle tip" in archaic spelling and “needless point”— “useless question”.
