Floating Circles

Title: Floating Circles
Creator: Alexander Calder
Date: 1974
Description: Tapestry
Abstract: One of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Alexander Calder gained international fame for his use of movement and color in sculpture. Like his other works, his tapestries embrace geometric designs, dynamic shapes and an overall feeling of motion and movement. Even in this more fixed, stationary form, Calder managed to infuse these weavings with fluidity and momentum characteristic of his artistic style.
