© 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.

アレクサンダー・カルダーの「Two Crosses」は、透明水彩とガッシュを混ぜ合わせた印象的な紙作品であり、彼の特徴である形とシンボルのレパートリーを示している。その中心には、流動的で灰色がかったウォッシュの上に大きな黒い「X」があり、その近くには、半透明の赤いボールと重なる小さくて不透明な黒い十字架があり、その左側には、丸みを帯びた透明なウォッシュのパッチが黒い三日月の形を支えている。黒で描かれたいくつかの球体が伴奏を添え、画家が好んだ原色と、下の余白には魅力的な起伏のある線が描かれている。カルダーは水彩を惜しみなく使うことで、紙の白が形や記号を際立たせ、シンプルさと透明と不透明な要素の相互作用が見る者を魅了する、ダイナミックでインパクトのある作品を生み出している。
