Published by the gallery Maeght in 1969 // Le Lettres by Alexander Calder, created in 1969, is a vibrant limited edition lithograph that showcases Calder’s mastery of form, color, and playful composition. The artwork combines bold swirls, curving shapes, and abstract forms reminiscent of letters or symbols, set against blocks of primary colors—red, blue, yellow, and black. The title, The Letters, hints at an exploration of typographic elements, where each shape interacts dynamically within the space, creating a rhythmic and almost musical flow. Published by Maeght Gallery, this piece captures Calder’s characteristic whimsy and inventive approach to abstract forms, bridging the worlds of art and language.

What is late modernism?
Artwork by Roy Lichtenstein

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
