This is almost a thesis of his ideas upon the use of pure form. We have the triangle and circle assented, labled almost, upon the face and right breast. Into these so-called “abstractions” life flows, the circle moves and elongates into the oval, it increases and takes volume in the sphere, or hemisphere of the breast. The triangle moves toward organism, it becomes a spherical triangle. . . . These two developed motifs work as themes in a fugue. We have the whole series of spherical triangles, as in the arm over the head, all combining and culminating in the great sweep of the back of the shoulders, as fine as any surface in all sculpture. The “abstract” or mathematical bareness of the triangle and circle are fully incarnate, made flesh, full of vitality and energy. The whole form series ends, passes into stasis with the circular base or platform.11
