Untitled (from the La memoire elementaire), 1976

Lithograph in colors on Japon nacré - Signed and numbered to lower edge - Printed by Arts-Litho, Paris and published by Éditions de la Différence, Paris. // This untitled lithograph by Alexander Calder, created in 1976 as part of the La mémoire élémentaire portfolio, presents a captivating arrangement of pyramidal shapes against a minimalist background. The pyramids, rendered in bold primary colors of red, blue, yellow, and black, rise in a geometric landscape under a stylized striped sky and a red semi-circular sun or moon. The use of flat planes and solid colors conveys Calder's signature style, which is rooted in abstraction and modernism. The simplicity of form and the precise composition invite viewers to interpret the scene freely, perhaps evoking a surreal desert or imaginative landscape. Printed by Arts-Litho and published by Éditions de la Différence, Paris, this piece is signed and numbered by Calder, exemplifying his unique approach to color, form, and spatial relationships.
