Desmond Morris (b.1928) The Budding Force, 1973 initialled and dated (to reverse) oils on canvas 40cm x 30cm. Literature: Silvano Levy, Desmond Morris: Naked Surrealism, Barry & Jenkins, 1999, pp.122-3, illustrated; Michael Remy, The Surrealist World of Desmond Morris, Jonathan Cape, London, 1991, p.135, illustrated. 'In The Budding Force (1973) it is the female and her sexual organs that are the subject of such a display. Ostensibly, this painting shows a rooted seed sending up a small shoot...This is an eruption of subterranean forces. The bulb-like mass is shown in all its elaborate, tensioned detail, and at its muscular heart a well protected kernel appears to throb. The title of the work denotes the idea of vigorous growth from a plant root'. (Silvano Levy, Desmond Morris, p.122) 'What the picture emphasises then is the postponement ad infinitum of that which is born, since its place of origin - already dual in being both feminine and telluric - is itself duplicated'. (Remy, The Surrealist World, p.136)
