The image you’ve provided seems to be attributed incorrectly. “The Green Stripe” is actually a painting by Henri Matisse from 1905, known for its Fauvist style. Conversely, Alexander Calder, who was active around 1963, is renowned for his abstract sculptures and mobiles and was part of the Abstract Art movement. Nevertheless, the artwork shown in the image does have characteristics commonly associated with abstract art, such as non-representational forms and the use of bold, expressive colors. It features dynamic, angular forms in red and yellow with a striking blue form against a white background, which may evoke the sensation of movement and balance, similar to what we might expect from a work by Calder or his contemporaries. The painting signifies an exploration of color and form rather than depicting a recognizable scene or object, which is typical for abstract compositions.
