Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was a prolific printmaker, with his printmaking career beginning in the 1920s and expanding significantly in the 1950s as his fame grew. His prints, primarily lithographs, often share the same bold lines, geometric shapes, and primary colors found in his sculptures, but are also distinct works of art that explore mobility and composition in a two-dimensional space. He created prints throughout his career, producing works for various books and journals, which were often based on his gouache paintings.
