''Two Lines Oblique Down, Variation III'' is a kinetic artwork by American artist George Rickey and located at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The sculpture was made in 1970, and it is constructed from stainless steel. ==Description== The pendulum-inspired design of ''Two Lines Oblique Down, Variation III'' is typical of Rickey’s geometric, kinetic artwork. Measuring by the greatest extension of the sculpture's "arms," its size is 31' x 42' x 8'.〔 It is constructed from at least five primary, stainless steel components which have been welded and bolted together to form linear shapes. The overall form is a Y-shaped stationary piece with two wind-powered moving pieces. The stationary piece is square at the base and tapers up to the split of the Y. The ends of the Y are equipped with rotating joints by which the smaller moving pieces are attached to the sculpture. Each moving piece is a triangular, tapering beam that is connected at a point approximately one fourth of its length away from the wider end of the beam. Small greased bearings keep the sculpture moving freely. Rickey relies on random wind currents to introduce movement into his sculptures, similarly to other kinetic artists such as Alexander Calder.〔''Indianapolis Museum of Art Collections Handbook''. Indianapolis: Indianapolis Museum of Art, 1988. 126.〕 In contrast to the biomorphic forms of Calder's mobiles, however, Rickey's linear, oscillating forms trace paths in space that reject organic motifs in favor of geometry.〔Day, Holliday T. ''Crossroads of American Sculpture''. Indianapolis: Indianapolis Museum of Art, 2000. 70.〕 The large scale of ''Two Lines'' combined with the gracefulness of the sculpture's movements emphasize the relationship between space, movement, and time.〔
