Round Bar of Wood

André Cadere · 1972

Before you is Round Bar of Wood — a sculpture by the Romanian artist André Cadere, nineteen seventy-two. The piece is wood and paint, about 1.9 by 0 meters. It is an odd shape for a picture: about 1.9 metres one way and 0.0 the other, so it reads as a band rather than a window.
