Expanding Balloons 1963

"Expanding Balloons" (1963) is a dynamic work by American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) who is known for his innovative approach to abstract art. The painting features a network of black lines that create a sense of movement and energy, against which colorful circular forms appear to float and dance. Calder's signature style, which blends elements of abstract expressionism and constructivism, is evident in the work's playful use of color and line, as well as its overall sense of kinetic energy.
