Alexander Calder’s prints reflect the same sense of movement, balance and playful abstraction found in his sculptures and mobiles. Working primarily with lithography, he used bold colours, organic shapes and dynamic lines to create compositions that feel energetic and spontaneous. His prints often feature biomorphic forms, celestial motifs and geometric patterns, embodying his interest in rhythm and harmony. Calder’s graphic work expands his exploration of space and motion, translating his sculptural sensibilities into two-dimensional form while maintaining his distinctive visual language of simplicity and joy.
