Calder Alexander
Calder, 1898-1976 (Album Series)
 List Price: Price: $9.99 DescriptionWhen the final tally of key movers in the plastic arts of this century is compiled, there is no doubt that maestro of movement Alexander Calder (1898-1976), the man who put the swing into sculpture, will be near numero uno. Calder took it off the plinth, gave it to the wind, and left us kinetic playgrounds of the spirit. He operated at the point where Modernity and nature Fused, developing an environmental art that changed the medium Forever. Visiting his Paris atelier in 1932, Duchamp coined the term "Mobiles" For Calder's delicate wire and disc pieces, constructions that would soon become immensely popular. But he didn't rest on his innovations. Friends with Miro, Mondrian and Leger, Calder also turned his hand to painting, drawing, gouaches, toys, textiles and utensil design. A graphic master who sketched as much in air as in ink, the Sixties and Seventies saw Calder take on the monumental, translating the dynamics of cities into both his Mobiles and "Stabiles". At a time when sculpture was perceived to be the antithesis of movement, Calder unmade gravity and freed the elements in a body of work that is still sending a wind of change through the art world today.

DescriptionDelightful volume captures the beauty and spirit of a favorite American artist.Customer ReviewsAn ideal guide to understanding the mobileMobiles are a quaint and unique medium of art. "Alexander Calder and His Magical Mobiles" is the tale of mobile artist Alexander Calder, telling his life story and how he came into the field, but mostly focusing on the man's art. Drawing from Calder's own words much of the time, "Alexander Calder and His Magical Mobiles" features many photographs of his work in black-and-white, as well as forty photographs in full color. An ideal guide to understanding the mobile, "Alexander Calder and His Magical Mobiles" is highly recommended. Just all right Calder is my favorite artist ever. This book captures many of his different styles of works, but it needs photos of his standing mobiles, such as Little Parasite. The book has only a couple photos of unspectacular standing mobiles.
Alexander Calder (Life and Work of)
List Price: Price: $19.27 You Save: $6.09 (24%) DescriptionBriefly examines the life and work of the twentieth-century American sculptor, describing and giving examples of his art.Customer ReviewsAbstractionAs a whole, Adam Schaefer's "The Life and Work Of..." series of books on artists, aimed at young readers, is excellent; this particular selection, however, lacked the enthusiasm of most other titles. The best part of the book discusses Calder's work creating circus animal sculptures, and this topic will surely appeal to students. The latter portion of the book, however, is devoted to the artist's abstract sculptures, and considering the audience level for which this book was written, the author does not quite bring the genre to life for a young mind unfamiliar with such terms and concepts. More attention, perhaps, should have been paid to Calder's mobile sculptures and the effect his popularization of this invention had on the world in general.
