...sculpture is designed, like painting and drawing, to be viewed from only one position. In one of his earliest works, Saw Head (1933), the over-all visual context is two dimensional, with the mouth and eye as obvious examples of the use of three dimensional form to suggest flat surface and line. Even the more three dimensional features, such as the nose, suggest two dimensional shading rather than full forms in space...
...Structure of Arches is very angular and its conception has an air of calculated, almost scientific, remove. Nonetheless, Structure of Arches has the same illusion of two dimensionality as Saw Head. The total sculpture, in spite of its actual volume, can be seen as a two dimensional composition of flat surface and line because the uniform two dimensionality of the individual parts gives the total work an overwhelming sense of planarity...

This over-all quality forces the viewer to see even the volumetric elements which expand out beyond the picture plane, as part of the same two dimensional surface...
