Sandy Calder does for Cramer when he's finished burning'. There are two word plays with Fêtes and Faites and Cramer's surname with the colloquial French meaning to burn. Galerie Gerald Cramer was a Swiss gallerist and publisher who worked closely with the leading artists of the Fêtes is a prose poem by French author Jacques Prà vert, honoring Calder's remarkable achievements as a modern artist. Prà vert explained that Calder is a 'sorcererâ¦of happiness', one whose art is a 'pleasure of eyes and heart'. Prà vert was struck by Calder's seemingly effortless process, in which spontaneity, originality, and pure freedom of expression made him unclassifiable. In preparing the illustrations for this project, Calder devised an unconventional technique for printing the brilliantly coloured aquatints that accompany Prà vert's text. Calder first made a preliminary drawing in colour, and then cut sheet metal that had been prepared in aquatint to match the drawing. The various metal forms served as printing surfaces, which were laid out on a press and colours applied. The metal plates were then run through the press, transferring the colour to the paper, while simultaneously embossing the sheet.

An energetic abstract composition in yellow, blue and red a joyful, collector-favourite Calder in pristine condition. Alexander Calder (1898 Lawnton, Pennsylvania 1976 New York) transformed 20th-century art with his invention of the kinetic 'mobile' and the monumental painted steel 'stabile'. Internationally celebrated for his wit, colour, and sense of movement, Calder was equally at home in graphic art, producing lithographs that translate the essence of his sculptures onto paper with directness and charm.'Inspiration' (1969) belongs to the same Kennedy Galleries series as 'Circles', published in New York in a limited edition of 125, each hand-signed in pencil by the artist. The composition presents biomorphic yellow, blue and red forms in dynamic equilibrium a visual language Calder had perfected over decades of international exhibition and public commission. Sheet size: 67.6 × 52.5 cm. In excellent condition. 67.6 x 52,5 cm (26.5 x 20,75 inches).
