Red Horse and Green Sulky 1926 — Fine Art

Red Horse and Green Sulky 1926 sets a red horse against a green sulky form on the sheet. The two figures sit apart, each built from a single solid colour. Calder worked with flat painted shapes and simple outlines, a method tied to his mobiles and stabiles.

This fine art print arrives in a frame with a back panel, so the picture stands on a plain wall. The matte paper keeps the red and green from shining under a lamp.

Hang it on a kitchen wall above the counter. From the table you see the two flat colour blocks, and the small black line work on the horse.
