Alexander Calder - Radical Inventor
Regular price $44.00An illustrated book exploring the full breadth of Calder’s influential career as an inventor of new artistic forms
Alexander Calder (1898-1976) as a radical inventor: an artist who discarded convention and disrupted hierarchies, overturning the traditional basis of culture while revolutionising the way people perceive and interact with art. Calder's "new line" was not simply an evolution of forms and styles. From the start, it was quite clear to all who witnessed him at work that - in his own way of drawing attention and gaining notoriety - he was doing something radically new.
This handsome book, which accompanies a show at the Montreal Museum of Fine arts and the NGV in Melbourne, gives a rich overview of Calder’s extensive oeuvre, including his explorative two-dimensional studies of line and space, his three-dimensional wire portraits and circus figures, as well as his most acclaimed artistic inventions, the mobile and the stabile.
