Toaster 1942 — Fine Art

Toaster 1942 shows a painted shape set on a plain field, the kind of simple form Alexander Calder used when he worked with cut metal and wire. The picture stays quiet and reads as a single mark against its ground.

This fine art print comes with a white, wood, dark wood or black frame, and the frame gives the sheet a clear edge on the wall. The clean frame edge keeps the outer line from drifting when you look at the work.

In a kitchen, the print hangs on a pale tile wall near the sink. From the food prep area you see the solid painted shape, and from the table you notice the plain ground around it.
