Ghosts 1964

"Ghosts" (1964) is an abstract watercolor by American sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976). The painting features a series of five elongated, biomorphic forms rendered in black and white, with one form accented with blue. The simple, yet dynamic lines, along with the artist's signature "Calder '64", are reminiscent of Calder's signature style of dynamic mobile sculptures. This watercolor, created later in Calder's career, demonstrates the artist's continued exploration of abstract forms, emphasizing the essence of lines, shapes, and color.
