Untitled

Alexander Calder

Associated Names

Alexander Calder

Artist, American, 1898 - 1976

The image shows an arrangement of abstract shapes and lines against a yellow and blue background. In the center is a large, off-white oval, surrounded by smaller black ovals and irregular shapes radiating outward. Among the black shapes is a bright red, teardrop-shaped form. The composition suggests a sun's corona with tendrils extending into the deep blue section. There is a sense of dynamic movement created by the arrangement and color contrasts.
