Bones Necklace 1940 — Fine Art

Bones Necklace 1940 is a fine art print by Alexander Calder drawn from his mobile and sculpture work. The image shows curved bone-like forms arranged in a necklace shape on a plain ground. The marks are simple and leave open space around each line.

The white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. That clean border sits against the open ground so the bone shapes stay readable without crowding the sheet.

Above a kitchen sink the curved forms catch morning light. You notice the gaps between each bone shape before you read the whole necklace.
