Lithograph in colors. Signed and inscribed 'EA' in pencil. // This exuberant colour lithograph from Alexander Calder’s graphic oeuvre presents two boldly personified celestial bodies — a radiant red sun with flame-like rays and a smiling face alongside a grinning black moon baring sharp teeth — both animated by vivid blue circular eyes against luminous cream paper. The playful dualism of day and night, warmth and shadow, reflects Calder’s lifelong fascination with cosmic forces and kinetic balance. Rendered with the flat, poster-like simplicity that defined his printed work, the composition distils monumental sculptural energy into an intimate, joyful graphic statement.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
