Beskrivning

This original color lithograph was created by Alexander Calder as the cover for Derrière le Miroir No. 156, published in 1965 by Maeght Éditeur in Paris. The artwork features a striking stylized face surrounded by sun-like rays in vibrant red, yellow, and blue, set against a flowing black and white abstract background. The bold composition reflects Calder’s distinctive approach to graphic rhythm, playfulness, and color balance, echoing his sculptural language in print form.

Alexander Calder (1898–1976) was a revolutionary American sculptor and printmaker best known for inventing the mobile. His work spanned kinetic sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking. Calder’s bold shapes, vibrant colors, and inventive spirit made him one of the most influential figures of 20th-century modernism, with his prints echoing the same balance and energy as his large-scale sculptures.
