Tree by Alexander Calder is a 1972 lithograph that showcases the artist's signature use of bold color and simplified organic forms. The central black tree trunk, stylized and flowing, branches out symmetrically, bearing circular "fruits"—red on the left and blue on the right—suggesting balance or duality. Calder, known primarily for his mobiles and kinetic sculptures, brings his sense of rhythm and motion into this static form. The composition's playful abstraction invites viewers to interpret the tree as a symbol of life, energy, or even a diagram of opposing forces. With only 75 editions, this piece highlights Calder’s continued innovation in two-dimensional work late in his career.

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.
