Ducks and Seals 1971

"Ducks and Seals" is a 1971 gouache on paper by American artist Alexander Calder. This artwork is an example of Calder's abstract style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms. The composition features a dynamic arrangement of curved lines and geometric shapes in yellow, red, blue, orange and black, creating a playful and energetic atmosphere. It exemplifies Calder's exploration of movement and rhythm through abstract forms, typical of his later work. The work is signed by the artist in the lower right corner "Calder 71."
