Cahiers d'Art: Calder in France

Best known for his innovative mobiles that embody change in their aesthetic and his monumental public sculptures, the American artist Alexander Calder reached his artistic peak in 1920s Paris. Calder’s time spent in France sculpted his artistic legacy. This issue explores these significant years in which he made a mark on the city’s bustling avant-garde scene.  Each page unveils the studios where Calder spent living and creating, through archival documentation. The images, along with interviews involving modern visual artists, give readers the opportunity to dive deeper into Calder's artistic approach and process. Visuals of his work are published beside original texts by Alexander S. C. Rower, and Susan Braeuer Dam, Director of Research and Publications at the Calder Foundation.
