Red Cascade 1954 — Fine Art

Red Cascade 1954 by Alexander Calder carries a red flow down the sheet, with thin black lines holding the shape and a plain cream ground behind it. The metal form reads as one falling strip, set against the quiet paper.

The paper is matte, so the red stays soft and there is no shine under a lamp. A metal hanger is fitted to the back, and it goes straight onto a nail or screw, so the fine art print goes up on the wall with no separate frame to buy.

It sits above the desk in a small study, where the desk lamp throws a warm light across the paper and the red band stays clear at arm length.
