Original poster for the Alexander Calder retrospective exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.Alexander Calder, Sans titre 1956. Feuille de metal, fil de fer et peinture, 88,9 x 304,8 x 162,6 cm.Photo Courtwsy of Calder Foundation, New York / Art Resource, New York@ Alexander Calder Foundation, New York / ADAGP Paris.Alexander Calder was an American engineer and sculptor who moved to the vibrant Paris of the 1920s and began creating animal figures out of wood and wire. Little by little, he simplified them until they became abstract, and he discovered that they gained dynamism when they actually moved. This gave rise to his innovative mobiles (hanging moving toys), which would eventually become the seed of kinetic sculpture.Calder began with relatively small sculptures, but over the years these grew into monumental works that ended up in the streets and squares of major cities around the world. His mobiles (so named by Marcel Duchamp) were complex structures of abstract organic forms, usually suspended in the air, that swayed gently and harmoniously. The almost imperceptible rotational movement caused the pieces of these sculptures to constantly change shape, creating infinite sculptures from a single one.He was also interested in the shadows cast by his mobiles, which were as changeable as the pieces themselves, so he began to pay close attention to the lighting in exhibition spaces. Additionally, another interesting and innovative factor was sound, which he incorporated into his works, as these structures clinked against one another.A key influence on his work, in addition to Arp, was Mondrian, an artist who made a profound impression on him with his serene simplicity and pure colors. Almost as a tribute, Calder used very little color in his work. Black and white were his favorites, with the occasional addition of the three primary colors and a couple of secondary ones.Dimensions: 50 x 70 cm.
