Panoramas
In an effort to give the effect of a wide horizon Richard sometimes worked on pictures which were narrow from top to bottom but excessively wide from side to side. But he started this idea as early as 1915 (12 years old) when he must have cut paper to this shape in order to paint a scene where his pet rabbit happily grazed near several guinea pigs belonging to his sisters. He still used this format when he was 86 years old.
