Iguane
1965
"Iguane" is a gouache and ink work by Alexander Calder that exemplifies his distinctive approach to depicting animal subjects through bold, gestural abstraction. The composition captures the essential forms and movement of an iguana using fluid brushwork and expressive color, reflecting Calder's ability to distill natural subjects into their most dynamic visual elements. Created on paper, the work demonstrates the artist's versatility across different media beyond his celebrated kinetic sculptures and wire constructions.
