This is a black-and-white photo of a smooth, odd-shaped sculpture. It looks like a bird with a long neck and a blocky head, but the head has two round, hollow spots where the eyes should be. The surface is shiny and polished, with some rough patches near the base. The artist made this sculpture from a single block of stone, carving away everything except the key shapes. The way the light hits it makes the curves stand out sharply. Look up Brâncuși, Constantin next to see more of his simple, striking sculptures.
