La Grenouille et la Scie (large)

1971

About the Item

Reproduction of Alexander Calder's lithograph "La Grenouille et la Scie" ("The Frog and the Saw"), showcases his signature abstract style, employing bold colors and geometric shapes. Originally created in 1969, this artwork was produced in a limited edition of 75, each hand-signed and numbered by the artist. In 1971, this lithograph was also reproduced as a poster for Calder's retrospective at the Pace/Columbus Gallery in Columbus, Ohio, making the artwork accessible to a broader audience. The composition features dynamic forms that, while abstract, evoke the imagery suggested by the title—a frog and a saw. Calder often drew inspiration from natural forms and everyday objects, translating them into abstract representations that invite viewers to engage their imaginations.
