Pattern is created through repetition which establishes rhythm. There are many types of rhythms including fast, slow, simple, and complex. Artists throughout history have utilized pattern and rhythm in their works, such as Botticelli in the 15th century emphasizing flat color and pattern. More recently, artists like David Salle, Fred Tomaselli, and Lorraine Wilson Peters have incorporated pattern and rhythm in postmodern, mixed media, and intricate styles.
