To most people who look at a mobile, it’s no more than a series of flat objects that move. To a few, though, it may be poetry (Alexander Calder Quotes)
If you can imagine a thing, conjure it up in space then you can make it... The universe is real but you can’t see it. You have to imagine it. Then you can be realistic about reproducing it (Alexander Calder Quotes)
When an artist explains what he is doing, he usually has to do one of two things: either scrap what he has explained, or make his work fit in with the explanation (Alexander Calder Quotes)
The universe is real, but you can’t see it. You have to imagine it (Alexander Calder Quotes)
That others grasp what I have in mind seems unessential, at least as long as they have something else in theirs (Alexander Calder Quotes)
