Alexander “Sandy” Calder was a joyous, playful man who did not call himself an artist. But oh, what an artist he was! His gigantic, colorful metal sculptures and his amazing mobiles can be seen in public places all over the world. One of his first creations was a wonderful, whimsical circus that he made out of wire, cork and paper. Before he knew it, he was traveling between Paris and New York, making his clever creations run, leap, and dance, and performing a brand-new kind of art for amazed audiences.
