Palette on Four Prongs 1969

"Palette on Four Prongs," created in 1969 by Alexander Calder, is a bold and colorful abstract painting that exemplifies his signature style. Calder, renowned for his mobiles and wire sculptures, used bold black lines and vibrant hues of red, blue, and white to create a dynamic composition on a white background. The swirling black disk dominates the center, representing the artist's palette, while the "prongs" evoke a sense of movement and balance. The artwork embodies the playful energy and abstract expressionism of Calder's artistic vocabulary.
