MY ONIONS Master of Fine Works Oak Hill CA

Alexander Calder is Important Because:  He was an engineer  He revolutionised modern art with movement and colour of his sculptures called “Mobiles”.  He was famous stationary construction called “Stabiles”.  Created “Cirque Calder”

FAVORITE FACTS  In 1909 Calder made his 1 st sculpture, a tiny dog and duck cut from brass sheets.  Calder created Cirque Calder from wire, leather and cloth inspired from Ringling Brothers Circus.  In 1932 Calder show his 1 st mobiles in Paris  In 1973 Calder decorates a Braniff International airplane

Why I like Alexander Calder Calder’s mobiles and stabiles are fascinating by combining bright color and metal materials Calder’s paintings are very unique He was painter, sculptor, he created things that moved and art that was both big and small. He was very passionate not only for art but for anything he did.

THANK YOU!
