Henri Riviere, Funeral Under Umbrellas
Continuation is a tool used to achieve unity that is more subtle than proximity or repetition in the way that it uses natural lines, edges, or a direction from one form or object to another. The formation of the design causes the viewer's eye to be carried smoothly from one to the next. This piece shows umbrellas of many different sizes being held by people walking in a line. The composition of the people and their umbrellas have all of the elements touching whether it is with their legs, heads, arms, or their umbrellas.
There are no floating objects, they are a set pattern being connected even more by the black lines of rain coming down on them.
