C-Alderman 1956

"C-Alderman" is a 1956 gouache on paper work by Alexander Calder, known for his abstract sculptures and mobiles. The piece features a simplified, stylized face in black and white on a red background, characterized by bold, swirling lines that evoke a sense of movement and energy. This abstract, expressive work is typical of Calder's later style, where he explored simplified forms and vibrant colors. It embodies the artist's fascination with both geometric shapes and organic forms, which he used to capture the essence of his subject matter.
