'''Bird''' is a seminal sculpture by French-born artist Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891–1915), created in 1914. This work is one of the most recognized pieces by the artist, who was a pioneer of modernist sculpture in the early 20th century. The sculpture exemplifies the Vorticist movement, of which Gaudier-Brzeska was a prominent member, and reflects the movement's fascination with movement, mechanical energy, and the abstraction of form.

Crafted from a single piece of polished serpentine stone, ''Bird'' showcases Gaudier-Brzeska's skill in direct carving, a technique that was central to his artistic practice. The sculpture is characterized by its sleek, simplified lines and dynamic form, which capture the essence of a bird in flight without relying on detailed representation. The work's abstracted shape and the emphasis on rhythmic form over naturalistic detail are indicative of the artist's interest in non-Western art, particularly African and Oceanic influences, which were being embraced by many avant-garde artists of the time as a means of breaking away from traditional European artistic conventions.

''Bird'' is not only a reflection of Gaudier-Brzeska's personal style but also an embodiment of the broader cultural and artistic shifts occurring prior to World War I. The sculpture's aggressive abstraction and the sense of kinetic energy it conveys are reflective of the era's technological advancements and the growing fascination with speed and the machine age. Unfortunately, Gaudier-Brzeska's promising career was cut short when he was killed in the trenches of World War I at the age of 23.

Today, ''Bird'' is held in high regard as an important work in the history of modern sculpture and is often cited in discussions of Vorticism and early 20th-century avant-garde art movements. The piece is part of various museum collections and has been exhibited in numerous retrospectives of Gaudier-Brzeska's work, continuing to inspire and influence generations of artists with its innovative approach to form and material.
