Oignon et Navets 1965

"Oignon et Navets" (1965) is a gouache painting by Alexander Calder, known for his abstract and bold compositions. Calder's distinct style utilizes contrasting colors and simplified forms, creating a dynamic interplay across the canvas. The artwork is characterized by organic, curved lines and flowing shapes, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The artist uses black outlines to define the shapes of the figures, and they appear to be dancing across a white background, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality.
