Martin Puryear and Form

Martin Puryear, sculpture

Art is a form of description.  According to Kit White, "how it describes is its form and what it describes is its content."  When asking, what does this describe, one is asking about subject matter.  But then there is the question about form, or "the organization, placement, or relationship of basic elements, such as line, color, or volume."  When deciding on creating an artwork, one must decide the right form for the content.
