What materials did alexander calder use?
Alexander Calder was a very prolific artist and worked in many medias. He is most well known for his kinetic hanging mobiles, an art-form that he created. His mobiles were typically constructed of aluminum sheet metal, steel wire, and paint. His mobiles were most often constructed using mechanical fastening methods such as crimping and riveting rather than brazing or welding. He also created larger stationary sculptures called "stabiles" which were made of thick metal plate which was riveted or welded, and then painted - usually in flat black or the iconic reddish orange such as the Flamingo sculpture in Chicago.Calder also enjoyed painting with gouache, which is similar to a watercolor paint media, and doing line drawings in ink. Calder also did wood free-carving, sculpture from found objects, wire sculpture, casting, jewelry making in gold and silver, and kinetic sculpture with mechanical mechanisms. Calder even used mercury in a kinetic fountain that he created for the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris. Credited with producing over 16,000 works in his life, it would be difficult to find a media that Calder did not experiment with.Related Links:http://www.calder.org/http://www.the-mobile-factory.com/alexander_calder_trivia.html
What was Alexander Calder's technique?
Alexander Calder's hanging mobiles were mostly constructed of aluminum sheet metal, and steel wire. He used simple hand tools such as wire cutters, sheet metal snips, flat jawed pliers, files, and other metal working tools to make them. Sometimes he would join pieces together by using metal rivets. The mobiles were typically painted by hand using a brush and oil based paint. Calder constructed his mobiles by first cutting out random abstract shapes from the sheet metal, filing the edges to smooth them, and then laying out and arranging the pieces in different patterns until he found one that he liked. Then he would connect the pieces together with wire, starting with the bottom pieces first, and then moving upwards adding new "branches", carefully balancing each new piece as he went along. Calder also created huge monolithic sculptures that were known as "stabiles". For these, he would make a small scale model by hand, and then work with contractors experienced in welding and heavy metal forming to create the large sculpture. After the sculpture was completed, it would be disassembled and shipped to the installation site where it would be re-assembled under Calder's supervision.
