The relationship between form, content, and subject matter

Take a look at the sculptures by Alberto Giacometti (fig 3.14, page 43) and Henry Moore (fig. 23.34, page 432) in your text. Both pieces are good examples of the relationship between form, content, and subject matter. How do you feel the form of each sculpture expresses the content? What specific characteristics give us clues and communicate meaning? Be specific.
Select a third work of art from the text and discuss how the form and content relate. Identify at least five visual elements and/or principles of design in your analysis of the third piece. Include an image of the piece you choose.
