Bouées 1973

"Bouées," a 1973 gouache and ink drawing by Alexander Calder, features the artist's signature use of bold colors and simple shapes. The abstract work depicts floating spheres, perhaps representing buoys, against a backdrop of blue and black stripes suggesting water. Calder, known for his mobiles and wire sculptures, explores a whimsical, playful approach to abstract art in "Bouées," emphasizing the dynamic relationship between forms and space. This work reflects Calder's later artistic exploration of graphic design and his fascination with movement and color.
