A Surrealist Masterpiece: Apple Monster (1938) by Alexander Calder
Infuse your collection with the whimsical intelligence of Alexander Calder. The 'Apple Monster' (1938) represents a pivotal moment in Calder’s career, where his mastery of kinetic sculpture began to bleed into his graphic works. This fine art print captures the organic, biomorphic forms that defined the Surrealist movement, offering a sophisticated balance of tension and playfulness.
At RedKalion, we believe a museum-quality reproduction should honor the integrity of the original. This piece is meticulously printed on 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. The natural white, uncoated matte finish ensures the colors remain vibrant and deep, eliminating glare and preserving the tactile richness of the ink for generations.
Complementing this archival-grade masterpiece is a premium black frame crafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. Measuring 20mm (0.79") in both thickness and width, this frame provides a more robust and premium profile than standard gallery frames. To ensure your investment remains pristine, each print is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, providing crystal-clear visibility with superior durability.
