triangles in their cave paintings, mainly for bodies.
Triangles in Modern Art
Triangles are still used in modern art. Albanian artist Edi Muka designed a
piece of art that looks like a building made of triangles. Many pieces of
modern art not just paintings but, buildings, sculptures, and sketches. Some
art doesn’t include triangles but include quadrilaterals. They are the most
common among modern art with shapes. These shapes are placed beside
each other and overlap each other to create and abstract painting.
