Alexander Calder: hayatındaki yeri
Tüm yaşam öyküsü1930
In Mondrian’s studio: the shock of abstraction
A visit to Piet Mondrian’s studio in 1930, with its environment-as-installation, “shocks” Calder into fully embracing abstract art, toward which he had already been tending. He abandons the static quality of Mondrian’s Neo-Plasticism and sets himself the task of creating dynamic systems that reflect the continuous changeability of nature; another stimulus toward kinetic art was a planetarium that showed the movements of celestial bodies.
1931
A show of abstract constructions at Galerie Percier
Calder’s first exhibition of abstract constructions is held in 1931 at Galerie Percier; Fernand Léger writes the preface to the catalogue.
1931
Joins Abstraction-Création
In 1931 Calder joins the non-figurative group Abstraction-Création; in 1933 he exhibits with it in Paris.
1933
Back in America: a farmhouse in Roxbury
In 1933 Calder and Louisa return to America, to a farmhouse they have bought in Roxbury, Connecticut, where they will raise a family.
1934
