This is a black-and-white photo of a sculpture showing three identical figures standing side by side. Each figure has a simple, angular head with two circles for eyes and a curved shape for a body. Their arms are straight and stiff, almost like they’re holding something invisible. The whole piece is mounted on a flat base, and the figures cast sharp shadows on the wall behind them. The figures look like they’re made of flat, cut-out shapes rather than rounded forms. The photo itself is grainy, which makes the sculpture look even more geometric and stylized. If you like this kind of bold, simple design, check out Depero, Fortunato.
