Alexander Calder - Father of Kinetic Art
Learn about one of the most important sculptors of the 20th Century! Alexander (Sandy) Calder is the inventor of the mobile. He is the father of kinetic (moveable) art. He also created monumental "stabiles" that did not move. He was also a painter in his early years, he made jewelry, household utensils, gag Christmas gifts and created a most whimsical kinetic circus from wire and found objects. He was a master of wire sculpture and created portraits and figural works of wire also. Sandy was a man of many talents. He is an artist well worth learning about! |
