"Untitled" Butterflies & Spirals (1975) by Alexander Calder
Original hand signed color lithograph by prominent 20th century artist Alexander Calder. 26 x 38 inches, Edition # 44/125
American artist Alexander Calder changed the course of modern art by developing an innovative method of sculpting, bending, and twisting wire to create three-dimensional “drawings in space.” And while he might be best known for his wire mobiles, the artist was also an avid printmaker at the end of his career. Featuring primary colors, geometric lines and spirals, and flattened biomorphic shapes, the imagery in Calder’s lithographs is often reminiscent of his sculptural work. While many of Calder’s prints may initially appear abstract, a closer look will reveal symbols of people, plants, and animals.
