© 2023 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York<br>Two Crosses by Alexander Calder is a striking work on paper, blending transparent watercolor and gouache, showcasing his signature repertoire of shapes and symbols. At its heart lies a large, black 'X' on a fluid, grayish wash, and nearby, a smaller, opaque black cross overlapping a semi-opaque red ball, and to its left, a roundish transparent wash patch hosts a black crescent shape. Several spheres in black provide accompaniment, and the artist's favored primary colors, and at the lower margin, his charming undulating line. Calder's sparing use of watercolor allows the paper's white to showcase the forms and symbols, creating a dynamic, impactful artwork where simplicity and the interplay of transparent and opaque elements captivate the viewer. © 2023 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York<br>Two Crosses by Alexander Calder is a striking work on paper, blending transparent watercolor and gouache, showcasing his signature repertoire of shapes and symbols.

Two Crosses von Alexander Calder ist ein auffälliges Werk auf Papier, in dem sich transparente Aquarell- und Gouachefarben vermischen und das sein typisches Repertoire an Formen und Symbolen zeigt. Im Zentrum steht ein großes, schwarzes X" auf einem fließenden, gräulichen Lidstrich, daneben ein kleineres, undurchsichtiges schwarzes Kreuz, das eine halbdurchsichtige rote Kugel überlappt, und links davon ein runder, durchsichtiger Lidstrich, der eine schwarze Sichelform beherbergt. Hinzu kommen mehrere schwarze Kugeln und die vom Künstler bevorzugten Primärfarben sowie am unteren Rand seine charmante Wellenlinie. Calders sparsamer Einsatz von Aquarellfarben erlaubt es dem Weiß des Papiers, die Formen und Symbole zur Geltung zu bringen. So entsteht ein dynamisches, wirkungsvolles Kunstwerk, bei dem die Einfachheit und das Zusammenspiel von transparenten und opaken Elementen den Betrachter fesseln.
