Squab Broiler

Francis Jennings

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a tall, slender object with a simple and linear form. It is composed of a vertical rod that extends upward, finishing with a small yellow sphere at the top. The structure is primarily constructed from dark metal. In the middle of the sculpture, there are bends and curves in the metal rod, forming abstract shapes that resemble a geometric design or framework. These elements are interconnected. The base consists of three curving legs that extend outward. Overall, the sculpture stands in a balanced manner, with its minimalist design and stark contrast of materials making it visually striking.
