About Alexander Calder
Alexander Calder was an American sculptor known for inventing the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture made with delicately balanced or suspended shapes that move in response to touch or air currents. Born in 1898 in Pennsylvania, Calder initially studied mechanical engineering before turning to art. His playful and colorful creations have been exhibited in major museums worldwide, and his innovative approach to sculpture had a significant impact on the development of modern art.
