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 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.
