Alexander Calder

American, 1898-1976

American, 1898-1976

The American sculptor Alexander Calder is known as the father of the mobile, a moving artwork composed of delicately balanced sculptural forms suspended from the ceiling.

Because Calder's parents, both artists themselves, did not want him to suffer the hardships of trying to make a living in fine art, they encouraged the young Calder to study mechanical engineering at the Stevens Constitute of Technology, in Hoboken, New Jersey. He worked a number of jobs, including equally a hydraulic engineer and draftsman for the New York Edison Company, before deciding to pursue an artistic career. He never abandoned his engineering background, however, applying his understanding of gears and moving parts in all his artworks, from mechanical toys similar the Cirque Calder (1931) and his revered prints to his free-standing abstract sculptures, called stabiles.

In 1926, Calder moved to Paris and established a studio in the Montparnasse quarter. He began creating the many parts of his famous miniature circus from found materials, such as wire, cord, cloth, safety and cork. Designed to exist transportable, Cirque grew to fill v suitcases over the years. E'er interested in putting forms in motion, Calder also pioneered a new art form called wire sculptures, which he described equally "drawings in space." Like his famous mobiles, the wire sculptures were suspended so that they turned with any motility of the air, presenting different forms when viewed from different angles.

In the 1950s, Calder returned to his roots in mechanical engineering, creating awe-inspiring abstract sculptures that verged on the architectural. He worked from loose gestural drawings similar this preparatory sketch for his Man Stabile, from 1966. Throughout his career, he also worked as a set up designer for the theater, likewise equally an illustrator and printmaker, producing vibrant, whimsical drawings for books and journals.
