Le piège/ The Trap from La Memoire Elementaire, 1976 // Alexander Calder's Le piège (from La Mémoire Élémentaire) (1976) is a colorful lithograph that showcases Calder's iconic abstract style with a playful and geometric arrangement. The composition features a variety of primary-colored shapes such as circles and pyramids in red, yellow, and blue set against an orange ground. In the upper part of the artwork, swirling cloud-like forms add an airy and dynamic element to the otherwise geometric layout. The interaction of solid and outlined shapes creates a sense of movement and balance, reminiscent of Calder's kinetic sculptures. This piece embodies Calder’s ability to combine simplicity with an energetic vibrancy, engaging viewers with its bold forms and joyful 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.
