From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Dominant colour
Untitled is a photographic by claret, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black and white photograph of a sculpture. The sculpture is a bust of a person with a cloth wrapped around their head. It's sitting on a rectangular base. The sculpture is made of a light-colored material, possibly plaster or clay. The cloth around the head is draped in a way that creates folds and creases. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you're interested in learning more about this style of sculpture, you might want to look into the work of artist claret.
A photograph is affixed to a green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, solicited responses from sculptors in the 1920s via questionnaires, now held in the Archive of Art and Design. This image is one of numerous photographs submitted by sculptors to complete the survey.

Claret left behind a pocket-sized archive of Polaroids stashed in an old shoebox—some shot on a lunch break, others at 2 a.m.
