{"title":"The Alexander Calder Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlexander Calder made his name as a sculptor, with the hanging mobiles and large-scale stabiles that still occupy public plazas around the world. But he was also a prolific graphic artist, and the same instinct for bold, floating shapes carried directly into his work on paper. His prints and posters have the quality of his three-dimensional work compressed into two dimensions: simple forms, strong color, and a sense that everything is in motion. The pieces here are period originals from across his career.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"journees-internationales","title":"Journées Internationales du Film, Calder","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis poster by Alexander Calder was created for the 1971 Journées Internationales du Film de Court-Métrage held in Tours, France. Translating to \"International Short Film Days,\" an annual festival that brought together filmmakers from around the world to showcase short-form cinema. Calder’s bold spiral in black and white, set against a vivid red background, captures the sense of motion, drama, and creative energy that defined the event. Alexander Calder, famous for inventing the mobile and redefining sculpture in the 20th century, also applied his distinct visual language to graphic work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'His posters used color and shape to communicate movement and balance, often with no need for imagery or text beyond the essentials. The spiral seen here was one of his signature graphic forms, often used to suggest momentum, time, or unfolding action, fitting for a celebration of film. Held from February 2 to 6, 1971, the Tours short film festival was a key venue for experimental and emerging voices in cinema. With its minimalist palette and eye-catching design, Calder’s poster gave the event a strong visual identity, aligning it with the boldness of contemporary art and the innovation of modern film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.5\" x 17.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alexander Calder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
