Lithograph on wove paper. Signed in pencil, aside from the numbered edition of 90. Published by Maeght, Paris. Image: 22 x 18 1/2in (55.9 x 47cm) / Sheet: 35 3/8 x 24 5/8in (89.9 x 62.5cm) Alexander Calder’s Le Chevalier (1968) is a lithograph on wove paper that reflects the artist’s distinctive linear style and playful approach to form. The composition depicts a simplified, almost whimsical knight riding a horse, drawn with fluid, continuous black lines that convey both movement and lightness. Calder reduces the figures to essential contours, allowing gesture and rhythm to define the image rather than detail. The elongated limbs and stylized anatomy evoke a sense of spontaneity, while the balance between figure and empty space underscores his background in sculpture and mobile construction. Published by Maeght in Paris, the work demonstrates Calder’s ability to translate his sculptural sensibility into two-dimensional form with elegance and economy.

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.
