조각 소개
This three-dimensional work consists of approximately thirty white discs of graduated size attached to metal wires of various weights and lengths. This type of suspended sculpture is known as a "mobile," the term that Marcel Duchamp suggested for Alexander Calder's unique form of sculpture that moved in response to natural forces. Fourth Flurry '48 sways and shifts in response to air currents and the counterbalances of gravity, creating a constantly changing, asymmetrical yet balanced composition. Looking up at the slowly moving sculpture, the viewer is presented with a sensation evocative of a wide variety of natural forms and systems in motion, from snowflakes to solar systems, from atoms to galaxies. At the same time, this airy graceful sculpture functions on purely abstract terms. The white circular shapes, which create a rhythm through their repetition, are juxtaposed with the black-painted wire lines, creating a whimsical, abstract drawing in space.

Alexander Calder의 생애 속 이 작품
생애 전체 보기1946
The Louis Carré show and Sartre’s essay
In 1946 a Calder show organised by Duchamp, made up mainly of hanging and standing mobiles, opens at Galerie Louis Carré in Paris; because of the postal service’s strict size limits he takes some works apart and sends them by mail. The show makes a huge impact, as does the catalogue essay by Jean-Paul Sartre.
