‍The butterfly, an ode to life

‍

Created in 1968, Butterfly gouache has all the essential qualities of a collector's work.

The butterfly, a recurring theme for Calder, reflects in an original way his interest in the observation and scientific exploration of the world around him. Movement, a central element in his work, combined with the vibrant primary colors constitute a true ode to life. This work of course echoes the animal wire sculptures made as early as 1926 preserved at the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
