Though ‘Knife Apple Sheer Brush’ was explicitly a tribute to Stanley William Hayter, written after seeing an exhibition of his work in January 1948, it provides a vivid expression of Lye’s own aesthetic. The first draft was little more than a piece of didactic prose (‘Paintings state / Enduring qualities / Of individual experience / Isolated as art’), but Lye developed it into a sensuous lyric:

Take a

knife

To an

apple

The pith lies

sheer

With the mind take a

brush

Peel the skin of your own

pith
