Everyone knows Calder's works, both monumental and light, deeply anchored to the ground, but with a breath of air enough to set the Mobiles in motion. A major sculptor of the 20th century, Calder also approached his work as a painter. Throughout his life, he thus produced, most often in the form of large, powerfully colored gouaches or prints, a sort of counterpoint to his work as a sculptor. It is now time to consider with as much attention as he gave it—but not without humor—this work, to which he attributed a specific room in his house in Saché, a former pigsty he later named La Gouacherie.
