This image shows a sculpture titled “SELF PORTRAIT” by the artist Alexander Calder, created in 1968. The artwork belongs to the Expressionism movement and is categorized as a sculpture and a self-portrait. The piece presents a distinctive abstract form, representing Calder’s own face made with interconnected metal lines, possibly wire, which create an outline filled with space and suggesting features such as eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The loose form embodies the expressionist approach to convey emotion and subjective experience rather than realistic representation. The simplicity of the lines combined with the complexity of human expression reflects both the creativity of Calder and the innovative aspects of the Expressionism movement.
