14) Curvilinear Shapes


One of my personal favorites, The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Hokusai, is composed mostly of curvilinear shapes.  The edges of the waves and the background all have rounded edges and soft curves.  There is the occasional straight edge line from the boats to balance everything out, but the painting is dominated by curved lines, proving it is curvilinear.
