Untitled from Flight 1971

This untitled print from Flight by Alexander Calder offers us a delightful exploration of form and color. The shapes, they’re like playful characters, aren't they? With each one bearing its own personality and a story to tell. Look at the way Calder uses these flat planes of color to create depth and movement, it's like he's inviting us to rearrange these shapes in our minds, to play with the composition. I love that! Then there's the red, like a heartbeat amidst the calm blues and yellows. Notice how the edges of each shape are so defined? It almost feels like each one has been carefully cut out and placed onto the page, which speaks to Calder's background in sculpture. It reminds me of Miro, with this playful energy and spontaneity. In art there are no fixed answers, just endless possibilities for interpretation.
