Alexander Calder : biography

Alexander Calder is an American artist renowned for his revolution in the field of sculpture.

After studying engineering, he devoted himself to art and invented mobiles—kinetic sculptures that use movement to interact with space. His works, often colorful and abstract, include stabiles, which are fixed but dynamic sculptures.

Calder left a lasting impact on 20th-century art with his ability to combine engineering, aesthetics, and movement. His creations, such as the Mobile at the Guggenheim or monumental sculptures, continue to influence contemporary artists and captivate audiences.
