Notes. Abstract art is a type of art that does not depict things from the visible world. As Denis progressed towards abstraction in bronze he produced a series of works that described an aspect of form and movement. Examining an abstract work of art without a title requires more thought than one with a title or hook. The title directs the viewer towards what the artist was trying to achieve in the work. Here 'Standing Form' is clearly a figure or form standing. But that is my interpretation of the work using the title Denis gave it. As Denis's work and expertise developed the titles ascribed to a work, in my subjective opinion, took on both a randomness and specific reference to a place depending on the work.
