The shape of the cows is exaggerated, but not by much - many breeds of cow are just incredibly rectangular in profile.

The first thing I did was take 5 seconds for an image search to confirm that the cows in the paintings look like.. actual cows. Then I read the article, and remain perplexed about art and those who write about art.
