About Alexander Calder
1898-1975, US sculptor, graphic artist, inventor of the mobile
Alexander Calder was one of the most influential artists of Classical Modernism and became world-famous above all for his "Mobiles" and "Stabiles". He claimed of himself that he created "Mondrians that move".
Serenity, lightness, and humour characterise his oeuvre. He was inspired in his work by friends such as Hans Arp and Marcel Duchamp. Even as a graphic artist, he was impressive. What he was particularly interested in was the freedom to play with shapes and colours. The preoccupation with dynamics and geometry in the sculptures and mobiles thus found its counterpart on the canvas.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
The field of graphic arts, that includes artistic representations, which are reproduced by various printing techniques.
Printmaking techniques include woodcuts, copperplate engraving, etching, lithography, serigraphy, among others.
