This small painting -part of a diptych- is
about
"Female
Transformation and the Celebration of
Pregnancy."
From the deep dark depth
reaching out for Love and Light:
First breath of new life.

The importance of squares in art,
together with
other basic geometric shapes,
changed with
the arrival of Modern Art about 100
years ago,
especially Cubism.
This change caused painters,
sculptors and
printmakers to become excited
about the
creative possibilities of all kinds of
geometric
shapes.
From almost the beginning of
Modern Art,
some artists became very involved
with ideas
using shapes that were entirely
geometric, and
were especially creative with
square
shapes.
As time went on, some artists
came to delight
in visual effects that teased
people's eyes by
presenting geometric shapes in
ways that were
more like visual puzzles.
