Pyramid and Red Sun, from La Mémoire élémentaire (The Elementary Memory)

Alexander Calder's *Pyramid and Red Sun* is a vibrant lithograph featuring his signature bold, organic shapes rendered in a lively palette of primary and secondary colors. The composition balances a dynamic interplay of geometric and biomorphic forms, evoking the playful, kinetic energy associated with Calder's celebrated mobiles and stabiles. Printed on wove paper as part of the portfolio *La Mémoire élémentaire*, this work exemplifies Calder's masterful ability to translate movement and joy into a two-dimensional format.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on wove paper, the full sheet.
