The stick figure is like an alphabet. In fact, some alphabet letters are derived from the stick figure. Contemporary artists like Paul Klee, L.S. Lowry, Keith Harring (to name a few), utilized this simple depiction as has every culture around the world, from Europe, to India, to Easter islands, to the Americas. It has endured because it is easy to draw and easy to understand. The humble stick figure can convey every kind of emotion with just a few lines!
