The Blue C 1969

"The Blue C" is a 1969 work by American sculptor Alexander Calder, known for his abstract mobiles and stabiles. This gouache on paper work is characteristic of Calder's later style, marked by bold colors and playful lines. The image depicts a white background with an explosion of colored circles and black lines in blue, red, yellow and black that seem to dance and move across the space. The work embodies Calder's playful approach to abstract art, inviting viewers to engage with the dynamic composition and find their own meaning in the interplay of color and form.
