| AIexander CaIder (1898-1976) revolutionized the art of scuIpture with his distinctive modernism, freeing scuIpture from its stand  and adding movement to the art itself. He rose to fame in the 1930s with his renowned Miniature Circus, but his modernist creativity skyrocketed with his wire sculptures, an invention he dubbed "drawing in space". Contemporary and friend with Duchamp, Miro,  and Mondrian, who have greatly influenced his evolution, this genius tinkerer, too often Iimited to his MobiIes, was fueled by artistic renewaI, creating such unexpected shapes as his huge stabiIe sculptures now exhibited worIdwide. In Iight of the artist's Iife, this film retraces this unique quest and explores the masterpieces that have marked the history of 20th century art. |
