Small Feathers 1931 — Fine Art

Small Feathers 1931 by Alexander Calder leans on the painted metal work he is known for. Thin wire lines and cut metal forms sit on a plain ground.

The feather shapes read as small cut pieces, each held by a line that suggests weight and balance. The fine art print keeps those quiet contrasts on the paper.

A thin dark frame on a pale wall keeps the focus on the cut forms and the wire lines. Hang it higher on a study wall, where you see the wire gaps from across the desk and the small cuts when you sit down.
