The Cutting Edge from La Memoire Elementaire, 1976 // Alexander Calder's La pointe du progrès (from La Mémoire Élémentaire) (1976) is a bold and dynamic lithograph, highlighting his iconic use of geometric abstraction and primary colors. The composition features a large pyramid shape in blue and yellow, surrounded by red and orange circles set against a backdrop of black and white striped patterns. The horizontal lines in the upper section add a sense of structure, while the striped, triangular forms in the foreground create movement and depth. This energetic interplay between color, shape, and line embodies Calder's playful and modernist approach, evoking a sense of balance and tension within the abstract composition.

What is kinetic art?
Artwork by Jesus Rafael Soto

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.
