c8.60
An attempt is made of relating three-dimensional extensiveness to the flatness of the ground. The splayed out hips and legs, the feet placed at an angle of almost 180°, the broad and angular shoulders, and the large face with flattened features, result from this endeavour. The three-dimensional element is substituted by the linear also in details; folds are indicated by incised and not by raised lines, and the volume of drapery, etc., is flattened into a stiff surface, with geometrical vestiges of fold-patterns.
