Richard Serra: Circle, Diamond, Triangle – Fergus McCaffrey, Tokyo

The weight of a drawing derives not only from the number of layers of paintstick but mainly from the particular shape of the drawing. It is obvious – from Mantegna’s Christ to Cezanne’s apples – that shapes can imply weight, mass and volume. A square carries more weight – gravitationally – than a rectangle: a trapezoid, more than a diamond. A triangle is a light, very quick shape.
