172 Alexander Calder (1898–1976) – Abstract Composition with Red Arrow and Black Spiral – Color Lithograph from Derrière le Miroir (1966)

This striking color lithograph by Alexander Calder features a bold, black serpentine form contrasted against a vibrant yellow field, with a sharp red arrow-like element adding dynamic tension. The interplay of primary colors and simplified organic forms reflects Calder’s signature style — one that bridged abstraction and kinetic rhythm through bold visual harmony. The work was published as part of the Derrière le Miroir series by Maeght Éditeur in Paris in 1966, a project that brought together some of the most important artists of the 20th century.
Alexander Calder (1898–1976) was an American sculptor and printmaker best known for his invention of the mobile — kinetic sculptures that redefined modern art’s relationship to space and movement. In addition to his three-dimensional work, Calder produced vibrant gouaches and lithographs marked by abstract shapes and primary colors. His collaborations with Maeght Éditeur were essential in making his visual language accessible to a broader audience through limited edition prints.
