A combination of circles, rectangles and triangles is the underlying basis of each of the artist's paintings. Schiele's forms are often superimposed by one or more additional layers. Sometimes Schiele places the lines close together, usually black or white in contrast to the luminous formations in the background, so that a structure seems to take over the image. Sometimes he chooses airy, bubble-like circles to overlay his color field foundation, or he sets selective accents with shorter strokes.

CADILLAC RANCHA work of the multidisciplinary group Ant Farm, artists and architects Chip Lord, Doug Michels, and Curtis Schreier created Cadillac Ranch in 1974 at the behest of local eccentric millionaire Stanly Marsh 3. Consisting of 10 nose-buried Cadillacs, the bulk of their bodies rising out of the packed earth at a 60-degree angle, the sentinel line illustrates the rise and fall of the tail fin in American car culture.
Few artworks have had the cultural impact of Cadillac Ranch, or the multi-generational participation. The now-static cars remain active, even as they lose their hoods, their doors. Windshields long gone, the idea of the Cadillac, the idea of the open road, are still contained. In 2020, the ranch supported the BLM movement; groups painted "Black Lives Matter" and "George Floyd", as wel as "#SayHerName" in honor of Breonna Taylor.
