Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder was an American sculptor best known for creating mobile art—kinetic sculptures that move with air currents. Born in 1898, he began as a painter but gained recognition for his innovative use of balance and movement in three-dimensional forms. Calder's works often feature bold colors and abstract shapes, bringing a sense of playfulness to art. His most famous creations include large outdoor installations and circus-themed works. He is considered a pioneer of modern sculpture, influencing generations of artists with his unique approach to form and motion. Calder's legacy continues to resonate in contemporary art.
