Alexander Calder (1898 – 1976) was an American artist known both for his mobiles, static "stabiles", and his monumental public sculptures. A trained engineer, he became a freelance artist after attending New York’s Art Students League. Calder was strongly inspired by the spectacle and wonder of the circus, constructing entertaining mobiles often accompanied by music. Producing dynamic yet playful mobile sculptures, Calder dismissed the formal structures of art and redefined its infinite possibilities. Calder preferred not to analyze his work, saying, "Theories may be all very well for the artist himself, but they shouldn't be broadcast to other people" less
