CALDER: THE VISION OF A BABY
There was a time when something changed the conception of children's room which became filled with colourful objects hanging over the crib or suspended from the ceiling. The objects, of little weight and in different background, now move due to imperceptible currents of air. Static mute of cuddly toys was replaced by different shapes and volumes dancing to the smallest sighs.
By this time Calder had already experimented a great deal with his mobiles and with his art in general.
Calder is one of those artists who always conceived his work as playful, a language that is widely acceptable even without knowing that it belongs to art, a licence to dream.
