Alexander Calder — Petite spirale
Alexander Calder

Petite spirale

Petite spirale is a vibrant lithograph by Alexander Calder, showcasing his signature use of bold, primary colors and playful abstract forms. The composition features dynamic, biomorphic shapes and spiraling elements that seem to float and dance across the wove paper, reflecting Calder's deep connection to movement and balance. This work on full sheet exemplifies his joyful and inventive approach to color and form, bridging the worlds of fine art and kinetic energy even within a two-dimensional medium.
