"Rire jaune" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder, created in 1976, the year of the artist’s death. The artwork depicts three horses, one yellow, one red, and one black and white, rendered in a simplified and expressive style. The dynamic composition, characterized by bold lines and vibrant colors, reflects Calder’s playful and energetic artistic approach. The title, which translates to "Yellow Laugh," hints at the whimsical and humorous nature of the piece.
