Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder was an american artist during surrealism. He introduced the element of movement into sculpture through motorized works and mobiles. Calder also created static sculptures called stabiles, as well as paintings. He used wire to created three dimensional line drawings of people and animals called linear sculptures. He shifted from this to do abstract work with wire to create figurative and portrait pieces to "draw in space." This sculpture is called goldfish bowl
and is made of wire. Calder made this sculpture in 1927.
