{"title":"Alexander Calder","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlexander Calder (1898–1976) was an influential American artist best known for inventing the mobile, a form of kinetic sculpture that moves in response to air currents. Born in Pennsylvania into a family of artists, Calder initially trained as a mechanical engineer, a background that deeply informed his understanding of balance, motion, and structure. He later studied art in New York and became associated with leading modernists in Paris. Calder's work spans sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking, and is characterized by abstract forms, bold colors, and a playful yet rigorous sense of composition. In addition to mobiles, he created stationary sculptures known as stabiles, as well as large-scale public artworks installed worldwide. Calder is widely regarded as one of the most important artists of the 20th century, whose work transformed the possibilities of sculpture and modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Art Howse offers a curated selection of original Calder lithographs and prints, each accompanied by full provenance documentation — works that bring the energy and wit of one of modernism's great masters into any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alexander-calder-card-players-dlm-212","title":"Alexander Calder — Card Players, Derriere le Miroir #212","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlexander Calder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Card Players\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortfolio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Derriere le Miroir #212\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithograph in colors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unnumbered, unsigned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\" × 11\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galerie Maeght, Paris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom \u003cem\u003eDerrière le Miroir\u003c\/em\u003e No. 212 (1975), \u003cem\u003eCard Players\u003c\/em\u003e is a characteristically exuberant Calder lithograph published by Galerie Maeght in Paris.
