Description
Title: TANGRAM IV, 2005
Note: Sheet size: 24 by 31.5in.The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. These puzzles have been the object of interest for artists and designers who have used the principles of the game to sharpen the powers of observation through the discovery of resemblances between geometric and natural forms and as a tool for abstraction. The tangram is thought to have been invented in China during the Song Dynasty and later introduced to Europe by trading ships in the early 19th century.
Frame dimensions: 31 by 35.25in. (78.7 by 89.5cm)
