Les Masques
1971
A vibrant tapestry by Alexander Calder, *Les Masques* bursts with bold, biomorphic forms rendered in his characteristically playful palette of primary colors and black. The composition reflects Calder's signature abstract sensibility, translating his dynamic artistic vocabulary into the rich, textured medium of woven tapestry. Produced in a limited edition of six by the prestigious Ateliers Pinton Manufactures, this work represents number one from the series.
