One, Two, Three, Many

Thanks, Ploughman for the answer to my conundrum: polytych indeed, for any picture composed of more than three separate panels. Poor four, having no name all of its own. Dip, Trip and Poly, though, sound like somewhat dysfunctional family, so perhaps it's as well there are not more of them.

Might have to do another polytych though . . . clearly people have not painted enough of them for a four-piece to have its very own name . . . not for that reason (a bit late I think), but to have the still slightly silly sounding name for what I'm painting in my head when I'm doing it . . .
