Los gouaches se convirtieron en parte integrante de la práctica artística de Alexander Calder a finales de la década de 1930 y principios de la de 1940. A principios de la década de 1960 ya formaban parte de su repertorio, paralelamente a sus obras más significativas, y ocupaban un lugar destacado en sus exposiciones. Estas obras de menor escala ofrecían a los coleccionistas una visión íntima del proceso creativo de Calder, revelando su capacidad para captar la esencia de sus formas lúdicas y dinámicas con inmediatez e intuición, a menudo caracterizadas por formas atrevidas y enérgicas y colores vibrantes.





En este gouache de 1970, Calder emplea una gama de motivos visuales densamente poblada y diversa. Grandes círculos rojos, azules y negros flotan entre espirales y otras formas abstractas, mientras que un orbe central amarillo, salpicado de rojo, parece irradiar energía, sugiriendo movimiento o calor. A la izquierda, una estructura de líneas y formas que se entrecruzan introduce una onda arquitectónicamente sobria, mientras que dinámicas espirales animan la composición. El resultado es una exhibición festiva de los elementos característicos de Calder -colores primarios vivos, formas geométricas y líneas fluidas-, cada uno de los cuales interactúa con un ritmo vivo y armonioso.
