Rouge et bleu 1975

"Rouge et bleu" (1975) is a gouache on paper work by the American sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976). The work exemplifies Calder's signature style, characterized by bold lines and vibrant colors. The piece features a playful composition of geometric shapes, including circles, a crescent moon, and two pyramids rendered in a contrasting red, blue, and yellow against a white background. The dynamism of the composition, coupled with Calder's signature bold lines, imbues "Rouge et bleu" with a sense of movement and energy.
