Lovely pictures...... and many of them....... both in colour and black and white. And the book is large format so we have the benefit of the larger size to appreciate the pictures. I've also had the benefit of seeing Calder's work in many locations throughout the world ...including in odd locations such as the Hakone Art Museum in Japan. He's such a delightfully inventive character ...ranging from miniature circus performances, to jewellery, fabrics, theatre costumes and sets, wood sculpture, oil paintings, mobiles, stabiles, and even decorated aeroplanes. It's mentioned that as a child he saw a combination of colour in a football teams insignia....red, blue and black and he's always liked this combination. I guess it helped his career that he grew up surrounded by artists (he father was a sculptor) and, although he enrolled in Engineering at college he was able to turn his engineering skills into art. Probably of great use when talking to the steel fabricators who turned his maquette's into major structures. Love the book. An easy five stars from me.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and still enjoy leafing through it. ( )
