It is stunning.As modern today as it was in the 1930s and '40s.
The rapturous jewelry of American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) is on display today through June 15 at the Norton Museum of Art, before moving to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Calder may be one of the world's most beloved sculptors. His mobiles and other three-dimensional pieces evoke childhood memories of circuses, mechanical toys and colorful mobiles. An American innovator who showed a talent for sculpture at the age of 11, he studied mechanical engineering, physics and kinetics, later creating exquisite wind driven mobiles and motorized devices, in addition to painting and sculpture.
