Aggressive Stabile 1962

"Aggressive Stabile" is a 1962 gouache on paper by Alexander Calder, known for his iconic mobiles and stabiles. This work, a stabile, is a two-dimensional abstract piece, typical of Calder's style, with a contrasting color scheme. The artwork features a stark white, dynamic, angular shape on an orange background. The thick black outlines of the shape add a bold contrast and create a sense of movement, reflecting Calder's interest in kinetic art. It exemplifies Calder's exploration of abstract forms and his playful use of color and line.
