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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
