Alexander Calder's Untitled Mobile
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The creative genius of Alexander Calder spanned the better part of the twentieth century, with the American sculptor establishing his niche of motorized abstract mobiles in the 1930s. With a history of sculptors on his paternal side of the family and his mother a painter, it was no surprise how easily Calder filled those artistic shoes. Fashioned from aluminum and steel, his untitled 1976 creation drew from his past perspectives, including time spent in the Parisian Piet Mondrian studio. Calder expanded his interest in wire and spheres by assembling a collection of brightly colored disks that were held together by way of weights and counterbalances, allowing for the sculpture to reflect his spatial approach to art: free to move with the movement of the atmosphere as it hangs suspended in mid air. This ephemeral aspect of Calder's artistic endeavors became the calling card for the National Gallery of Art's East Building, inasmuch as he was beckoned to produce a piece of work that would capture the true essence of what this new structure was to ultimately represent. Calder's challenge brought to life the giant mobile whose presence seemed to defy gravity and spatial limitation. Sadly, he would not live to see his nine hundred twenty pound aluminum masterpiece hoisted to the ceiling in 1977, nearly eighty years after his birth. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
