Lithograph in colors on wove paper - Signed and numbered in pencil // Alexander Calder's McGovern for McGovernment (1973) is a vibrant, politically charged lithograph created in support of U.S. Senator George McGovern. Using his signature bold colors and whimsical style, Calder depicts two stylized, abstract faces—one in yellow, the other in blue—facing each other, with the name 'McGovern' bridging the space between them. The composition is energized by a vivid red background with bursts of yellow and white, evoking a sense of patriotic fervor. The playful forms and striking color contrasts embody Calder’s ability to infuse his work with both a sense of humor and a call for unity. This lithograph, printed on wove paper and measuring 30 1/8 x 42 1/2 inches, is signed and numbered in pencil in an edition of 175, capturing the spirit of Calder’s art and his engagement with the socio-political discourse of his time.

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.
