Untitled is a 1950 photographic by Stirling Calder, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white photo shows a sculptor’s studio. A man in a suit stands by a workbench, holding a tool and studying a small bust. Nearby, a half-finished stone statue of a dancer mid-leap sits on a pedestal. Other sculptures—some polished, some rough—fill the room, including a small figure on a stand by a window. The dancer’s pose looks dynamic, with one leg lifted and arms stretched. The studio feels busy but orderly, with tools and blocks scattered around. The lighting is soft, casting gentle shadows on the figures. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works from this era.
