Nude male figure in primary colors standing with arms up and three legs.Context
Calder, an artist from an early age, is best known for his creation of the “mobile;” a hanging, kinetic, metal sculpture that relies on balance (named by Marcel Duchamp). In addition to this invention, he also experimented with a wide range of other materials and art forms such as wood carving, painting, drawing, jewelry making, and other metal sculptures. This drawing is typical of his style as it shows his interest in primary colors and cartoonish figures. It was featured in ‘Derrière le Miroir,’ a French art magazine that was published from 1946 until 1982, where Calder had multiple appearances.Acquisition
