The artist developed a passion for gouaches early in his career, through which he furthered his interest in the expressive potential of linear and planar elements. Here Calder created an ebullient composition in which floating circles pierced by feathered arrows evoke the cosmic imagery that underlies much of his abstract vision. </p></span>","remarks":"MM Rotation July 2018"}],"datebegin":1966,"sortnumber":"1966   63x","published_date":"2026-03-31 02:01:31.560717","objectid":9675,"dimensions":"74.8 × 107.8 cm (29 7/16 × 42 7/16 in.)\r\nframe: 81.6 × 114.6 × 6 cm (32 1/8 × 45 1/8 × 2 3/8 in.)","on_view":false}
