Fond rouge 1949

"Fond rouge" (1949) by Alexander Calder (1898-1976) is a vibrant abstract painting, typical of Calder's artistic style. It features a bold red background with a large blue circle at the center, encircled by various black and white shapes, including circles, spirals, and a large black form. The abstract composition and use of bold colors reflect Calder's interest in exploring the elements of form, space, and movement in art.
