An original, large-scale painting by Alexander Calder, this unique work showcases Calder's iconic bold colour palette and dynamic abstract forms. The piece, painted in 1968, is hand-signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner and is accompanied by a bespoke frame. Although on a 2-dimensional plane, the gouache on paper has a sense of movement, capturing a feeling of motion, even though not physically.
 
Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was an American sculptor, arguably best known for his innovative abstract 3D mobiles and monumental sculptures where he pushed traditional sculpture, combined with his iconic colour palette. He had immense creative spirit and explored a diverse mix of mediums including sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking - also working on set design, jewellery design and large scale sculpture and installation. Calder’s work features his iconic, bold colour palette which is instantly recognisable. He received countless awards and recognition throughout his career and his work is held in numerous permanent collections around the world.
