What is "format"?
Format refers to the size and shape of a physical artwork, such as a painting, sculpture, or photograph. It determines how the artwork is arranged and presented, influencing its visual impact and how it is understood. The format can affect both the viewer's experience and how the piece fits into various spaces or settings. For example, a large, rectangular painting might have a different impact compared to a small, square one.
