  3. 3D From Simple 2D Stephen Heim
  4. The patterns on the costume are reminiscent of suprematist artwork. Stephen Heim
  5. physical distortion/disproportion: sacrifice of realism for the sake of drama. The body is a collection of shapes. Compare to pluralistic perspective of cubist compositions Stephen Heim
  6. Front v. Back Ian Lehine
  7. Government's Purpose Craig Dietrich
  8. The Double-Headed Eagle Stephen Heim
  9. The rectangular shapes on the boots match the pattern across the figure's chest. The orderly circles and lines within the geometric shape create a controlled pattern that feels awkwardly placed on the boot. Stephen Heim
