Alexander Calder

Encore de l'acier (More Steel)

Alexander Calder's *Encore de l'acier (More Steel)* is a vibrant color lithograph printed on Rives BFK paper that showcases the artist's signature playful vocabulary of bold, organic shapes and primary colors. The composition reflects Calder's deep connection to movement and balance, translating the dynamic energy of his celebrated mobiles and stabiles into a flat, printed medium. Fluid black lines weave through bursts of vivid color, creating a sense of joyful rhythm and spontaneity that is unmistakably Calder.
