The artwork titled “Portrait of a Man” created by Alexander Calder in 1929 belongs to the Expressionism movement and is a sculpture. The piece features a stylized human face, rendered in a simplified yet expressive manner using metal wire. It showcases Calder’s ability to create a three-dimensional representation using minimalist lines that provide an outline of the features of a man’s face. The lines curve and intersect to form the eyes, nose, mouth, and contours of the face, capturing the essence of a human portrait with a striking economy of form that is characteristic of Calder’s innovative approach to sculpture.
