Alexander Calder (1898-1976) lived in Roxbury, Connecticut. He is famous for inventing mobiles, suspended sculptures based on balance and movement, and for his abstract sculptures and paintings of animated form. His work has been characterized as Surreal Constructivism. Many of his large metal sculptures, now exhibited all over the world, were fabricated by metal workers in Waterbury.
Why do I love this Artist? I was introduced to this artist when I was 7, by my FAVORITE teacher of all time. Why wouldn't a 7 year old love bright colors, and movement?
