© 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.

Dos cruces de Alexander Calder es una impactante obra sobre papel en la que se mezclan acuarela transparente y gouache, mostrando su característico repertorio de formas y símbolos. En el centro, una gran "X" negra sobre un lavado grisáceo fluido; cerca, una cruz negra opaca más pequeña se superpone a una bola roja semiopaca; a la izquierda, una mancha redondeada de lavado transparente acoge una media luna negra. Varias esferas en negro sirven de acompañamiento, así como los colores primarios favoritos del artista, y en el margen inferior, su encantadora línea ondulante. El escaso uso de la acuarela por parte de Calder permite que el blanco del papel resalte las formas y los símbolos, creando una obra dinámica e impactante en la que la sencillez y la interacción de elementos transparentes y opacos cautivan al espectador.
