Double Nautilus 1973

Created in 1973, "Double Nautilus" is a gouache painting by American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) that showcases his abstract style. Two colorful spirals, one yellow and one orange, are connected by a blue line that appears to be a wave or a ribbon. These primary shapes are set against a backdrop of striped patterns in black and white. Calder's signature playful use of color and bold lines create a visually dynamic and captivating piece that exemplifies his contributions to abstract art.
