Abstraction 1966

"Abstraction" is a 1966 gouache on paper by Alexander Calder, known for his dynamic mobiles and abstract sculptures. This artwork exemplifies Calder's signature style, featuring bold, simple shapes - circles, a triangle, and a spiral - rendered in vibrant colors. The composition is playful, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay of color and form. This piece, created in the latter part of Calder's career, showcases his enduring fascination with abstract expression and the inherent beauty of simple geometric forms.
