Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was an American sculptor best known for inventing the "mobile," a type of sculpture that combines movement and balance, shifting shape with the flow of air. His mobiles are characterized by their dynamic motion, while his "stabiles," which are stationary sculptures, are also well known and often displayed in public spaces. Calder also worked with painting and jewelry design, making significant contributions to 20th-century modern art and leaving a lasting impact on the art world.
