The shapes
frequently display slightly curved boundaries,
suggesting a curiously puffy quality. Even
L-shaped forms, usually sharply angular, are
given the impression of softness; instead of
firmly hooking onto or aggressively piercing
into adjacent areas, they seem to nestle
among their neighbors with the gentlest
of touches (fig. 5). (LG Zutrau catalogue)
