Shape

Aaron Douglas
He uses distinct shapes to define the body of the men but also enhances the size and color to define the importance of it.















Elizabeth Murray
She uses similar shapes to coincide together to create another image through the combined shapes.
Bill Brandt
He uses the shape of the fingers to display the gentle yet intimate touch of the human beings.
M.C. Escher
He uses the shapes to create the transition from one animal to the next, showing that they are actually similar in shape.
David McNutt
He uses many intricate shapes to create an overall piece, some shapes more repeated than others.
Robert Rauschenberg
He uses an abstract form of shapes to create a collage of many different objects.
Helen Frankenthaler
She uses more free formed shapes to create and image that doesn't really look like anything relate-able.
Wassily Kandinsky
He uses many colorful shapes, very closely conjoined together, to create a story through the artwork.
Ansel Adams
He uses shape in a very simplistic way and the shapes are just blades or grass and it's all in black and white for contrast.










Robert Moskowitz
He uses shape in the form of a body part. It's a positive and negative interpretation of an arm and a hand.

















Charles Demuth
He uses the shapes to overlap each other, giving it a more feeling of depth rather than just being 2D.
Sidney Goodman
He uses shape to create a horizon-like scenery and the shape of the man's head instead of the sun.















Romare Beardon
He uses shape to create a collage of a story, which he tells with the specific way he placed the cut out shapes.














Jasper Johns
He uses abstract shapes overlapped on each other to create a colorful and dynamic piece.
