Story / Additional InfoLithograph comes with original promotional materials. As a soaring salute to the Nation on its 200th Birthday, Alexander Calder, creator of the mobile, the stabile and the standing mobile - and thus the father of kinetic art, was commissioned by Braniff to create a work of art using as his canvas the flagship of the Braniff jet fleet in the United States. Christened "The Flying Colors of the United States," Calder's salute is an abstract painting of the red, white and blue of our Nation's flag as it waves. Calder hand-painted a design representing the stars and stripes of the Nation's flag on the cover of the right-side engine. Braniff International reproduced this design "Flying Colors '76" in a limited edition lithograph for presentation by leading travel agencies.
