"Yellow Flower, Red Flower" (1972) is a gouache on paper work by American sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976). The artwork is composed of two stylized flowers in contrasting colors, a yellow flower with black outline and stem and a red flower with a blue center and black outline and stem. Calder's signature abstract style is evident in this work, emphasizing simplified forms and bold colors. The whimsical and playful nature of the composition, characteristic of Calder's artistic approach, makes it a recognizable and engaging artwork.
