- From October 16, 2008 through February 15, 2009, the Whitney Museum of American Art presents "Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926-1933," a new look at the artist's early years when his radical innovations included open-air wire sculptures, his beloved and important miniature "Circus," and the creation of a new art form, the mobile. This video excerpts scenes of Calder performing the "Circus" from a 1955 film by Jean Painleve.

The inner child that makes art amusing.
What a WONDERFUL short video. Completely demonstrates the carefree child in Calder. A grown man, that obviously made all of the characters in the act, having such a good time with his work!
AWESOME!
veia ksksksksksk velha velha
I grew up seeing the circus items in a glass case on the basement floor of the Whitney, at eye level for a child. I never knew the pieces worked and were part of a performance! Now I love them even more
This is not just art, it is a science and psychology.
Glory to the genius of this man.
Thank you.
Thumbs up if your art teacher sent you here!
Yep, she send me here😂😂
He sent me here as well 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Me too
Sameeeeee
Yep
You guys are unbelievable ! Calder is one of the biggest artists of the 20th century, damn !
Grazie infinite!!! Che emozione il piacere di Calder all'opera con le sue creazioni 💕
This is a joy! Fell in love with Calder's Cicus back in the 70s at the Whitney when I was in art shool... this isn't half of it! My father bought me the book which I chersih still, My first art memories are of pushing his mobile ("lobster trap & fish tail", I believe) at the Guggenheim to make it move and cast cool shadows and having the guard yell at me (and my dad!)!
Man this is so wholesome, thanks dude
You are never too old!!!
Thanx for posting this one
I love how he makes his art!!!!!
Sandy Calder is so inspiring, Thanks so much for posting this i have wanted to see his circus for a long time now!
I love it ! Thank you for posting it
Loved the clever, inventive circus acts from the mobile master! Loved the one at the Whitney Museum today and this earlier one
Wonderful! Saw the Alexander Calder exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in May this year and fell in love with his creativity.
Thanks for showing this!
i have really enjoyed this ! Very appreciated !
I loved this! Calder's circus is wonderful and sweet and fun. I'm so glad I got to see it for myself. It brought joy to my heart...something I couldn't say for the rest of the Whitney Biennial.
Didn't know who he was, but glad Google shared. What a great mind. fell in love with his art.
We saw this at the Whitney. It is fabulous!
this is as entertaining as it is aesthetically pleasing
Oh god I remember this from art class when I was a wee lad... wanted my own mini circus then and want one now.
Just saw the exhibiton at the Whitney. Inspiring stuff. Thanks for posting
*thumbs up* yes, my art teacher did have me watch it, and it was really helpful for my assignment!
such a great imagination, really good video :D
In the "Alexander Calder" video, when he performed Circus I noticed that he had all of his materials organized, which is very important when doing art work.
genio ¡¡¡¡con lo simple ¡¡cuanta creatividad
still love his work!!
ohhh his so nice. i wish there was more people like him :(
That was awesome B'day boy :)
I actually saw this exhibit in the Whitney, it was amazing.
I LOVE IT
Thanks for sharing this!!!
This is an utter delight. The essence of playfulness. We should pity anyone who is not charmed by it, for he or she must live a dull circumscribed life.
Happy birthay :D Mr. Alexander ^^

La même Mme varache
Calder was a child - and an amazing artist!
google didnt send me here i saw this film years ago, 30yrs now, alexander calder was interested in the enjoyment of children through adults, in the curious art world if it isnt obvious yet to most people here in the colonies, his focus was not in the entertainment of/for adults but of/for the children, and not so much to endulge but to get them interested in one of the great mysteries of life ie art, why the business communities forgot to save these wire artifacts was because they werent boring
Jättebra video 10 tummar upp👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
