Pointillism enlivened surfaces and evoked play of light (helps one consider the possibility of more dimensions)
To detach shapes from one another, artist considered the role of light - allowed him to separate planes and volumes in space
Different planes and lines represent different body parts or objects, even if passing through various angles
Broken continuity of lines - volume expressed through a series of inter-locking cubes
Oval canvas - no corners so definition of space is ambiguous
Visualizing the fourth dimension: as seen through the eyes of artists
