Spiral At Bottom 1971

"Spiral at Bottom" (1971) is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder, a prominent American sculptor and painter. The artwork is a prime example of Calder's abstract style, featuring simple, geometric shapes and bold colors. The composition is dominated by a series of circles and a spiral, arranged in a dynamic and playful manner. The use of vibrant colors like red, yellow, blue, and black creates a sense of energy and movement, reflecting Calder's fascination with kinetic art. This piece, like much of his work, showcases Calder's ability to capture the essence of movement and form through abstract means.
