One of America's best known sculptors, "Sandy" Calder became most
famous for his kinetic abstract mobiles. He also did floor
pieces, was a painter in watercolor, oil and gouache, did etchings and
serigraphs, and made jewelry and tapestries as well designed theater
stage settings and architectural interiors.
His art reflects
his reputation of being a beloved, decent human being who continually
searched for fun and humor in that around him. He was highly
independent from luxur (showing 500 of 15041 characters). |
