UN EFFET DU JAPONAIS 1941

"UN EFFET DU JAPONAIS" is a 1941 mobile sculpture by Alexander Calder, the American sculptor best known for his innovative mobiles. The work is a striking example of Calder's use of movement and balance in sculpture. The work consists of a black, stick-figure like form with a red ball suspended from the figure's right arm and a black disk hanging from the figure's left arm, both objects swaying in the breeze. Calder's use of primary colors and dynamic composition creates an engaging work of kinetic art.
