A landscape of pyramids in bright hues of red, orange, blue, black, and white dot a flat plain. These pyramids vary in size and color, but all are outlined in Calder's signature bold, black lines, providing a sharp contrast and causing the pyramids to pop out at the viewer. The bold dark horizontal lines across the top of the page create a sense of depth, space, and volume, illustrating the artist's technical skill and mastery of technique in transforming basic shapes and colors into a complex interaction of balance and visual imagery.
This original color lithograph is hand signed by Alexander Calder (Pennsylvania, 1898 - New York, 1976) in pencil in the lower right and numbered from the edition of 75 in pencil in the lower center.

Alexander Calder's childlike joy and draftsmanship entranced Paris as much as they did New York. Calder's stabiles and mobiles bring his monumental public works into the home while his signed lithographs and drawings are some of the best graphic works of the 20th century.
