Pointillism enlivenedsurfaces and evoked play of light (helps one consider thepossibility of more dimensions)
To detach shapes from one another, artistconsidered the role of light - allowed him to separateplanes and volumes in space
Different planes and lines representdifferent body parts or objects, even if passing throughvarious angles
Broken continuity of lines - volumeexpressed through a series of inter-locking cubes
Oval canvas - no corners so definitionof space is ambiguous
Visualizing the fourth dimension: as seen through the eyes of artists
