He further confined the space so that the boundaries did not move beyond the eyebrows, chin, and ears. His form for these "Constructivist Heads" was based on geometric planes disposed around the vertical axis of the nose, the horizontal of the eyes, and the complimentary arches of the eyebrows and chin.
