Kenneth Armitage represents movement in his sculpture, Walking Group, by having them displayed on a slant. Armitage stated “We live in a world of verticals and horizontals…. Although it is mainly for movement it is also for this reason that I like sometimes to make my figures, my sculpture, on a slant, so that they run across this rather rigid pattern.”
