Fêtes #2 1971

"Fêtes #2" is a vibrant abstract work by Alexander Calder, created in 1971. This gouache on paper artwork presents a bold contrast between a large, black, organic shape resembling a flowing form against a bright green background. Calder was known for his mobiles and abstract sculptures, but he also explored two-dimensional abstract art. His use of bold colors and simple forms in this work showcases his artistic versatility and playful approach to abstraction. This particular piece is a prime example of Calder's signature style, characterized by dynamic curves and a vibrant color palette.
