The artwork, titled “UNTITLED” and created by Alexander Calder in 1966, is a representative piece of the Expressionism movement. The genre of this figurative artwork depicts stylized figures composed of simple lines and vibrant colors.
In the artwork, Calder employs a combination of delicate line work and bold splashes of color. The figures, reminiscent of birds, are drawn with black lines that form their outlines and features, while the bodies of these figures are accentuated with striking blotches of red and blue. The colors seep into one another, giving the impression of spontaneity and fluidity. This juxtaposition of precise lines and freeform color application exemplifies the dynamic and expressive qualities typical of Calder’s work and the broader Expressionism movement. The artwork underscores movement and playful abstraction, engaged through minimal yet impactful visual elements.
