Red Boomerangs and Blue Saucer 1973

"Red Boomerangs and Blue Saucer" is a vibrant abstract painting by Alexander Calder, created in 1973. Calder, renowned for his mobiles and sculptures, explored a more two-dimensional approach in this work. The artwork features a bold yellow background punctuated by free-flowing red shapes, evoking a sense of dynamism and energy. A solitary blue "saucer" adds a contrasting cool element to the composition. This abstract gouache piece showcases Calder's signature playful use of color and form, characteristic of his artistic style.
