About this work

This painting is a vibrant abstract piece, featuring bold black and white stripes that dominate the composition. A striking red shape, reminiscent of a heart or a bird's beak, stands out against the monochromatic background. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner, adding a touch of personality to the work. Upon closer inspection, the intricate details of the stripes and the red shape become apparent. The stripes are not uniform, with varying widths and subtle curves that add depth to the piece. The red shape, too, has a sense of movement, as if it is about to take flight. For more works like this, explore the collection of Alexander Calder at The Museum of Modern Art.
