MEDUSA 1930

Alexander Calder's "MEDUSA" (1930) is a striking wire sculpture of the Greek mythological figure. The piece is formed entirely of bent wire, creating a minimalist and stark depiction of the Gorgon. Calder, known for his innovative use of materials and his exploration of movement in sculpture, masterfully captures Medusa's iconic features, including her serpentine hair and the menacing gaze of her eyes. This wire sculpture exemplifies Calder's artistic approach, which challenged traditional notions of sculpture and pushed the boundaries of three-dimensional art.
