1944
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1944 ink by Alexander Calder, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a big, wobbly shape that looks like a face or a mask. It’s made of thick, dark lines and patches of black and gray. There’s a star, a circle, and a wheel-like thing inside it. On the right side, a small vase or cup sits alone. The artist signed it "Calder," and the title is *The Big I*. The lines are rough, like they were scratched into the metal plate before ink was pressed on. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how prints like this are made.
Alexander "Sandy" Calder was an American sculptor known both for his innovative mobiles that embrace chance in their aesthetic, his static "stabiles", and his monumental public sculptures.
