ALEXANDER CALDER
Fish (Flying Colors) .

Printed by Arts Litho, Paris. Co-published by George J. Goodstadt, Inc., Connecticut, and Braniff Airways, Dallas, for the Flying Colors campaign, with the blind stamp lower right.

Calder (1898-1976) collaborated with Braniff Airways, 1973-75, to design "Flying Colors" jet canvases for the airlines Boeing 727 fleet. Calder painted maquettes or smaller-scale airplane model designs and some of these designs were used for limited edition color lithographs to commemorate the project, culminating in the July 4, 1976, bicentennial celebration which included the "Flying Colors" of the United States.
