亚历山大·考尔德(Alexander Calder)高清作品《花瓣弧》

作品名：花瓣弧

艺术家：亚历山大·考尔德

年代：1941

风格：机动艺术

类型：雕塑

收藏：所罗门古根海姆博物馆，纽约市，纽约，美国

从20世纪30年代起，卡尔德就发明了非机械化的悬挂、站立和壁挂式移动装置，它们的运动是由随机气流驱动的。早期的版本通常使用被清除的玻璃或陶器，而后期的版本通常完全由纯红色、、蓝色、黑色或白色的平板金属形状组成，比如这个作品。卡尔德成功地将自然运动融入雕塑中，通过组装各种元素，这些元素通过重量、表面积、金属丝长度等使自身自然平衡。他所达到的基本平衡保证了部件之间的构图协调，而不管它们的相对位置如何。在任何给定的时刻。虽然许多其他艺术家后来根据他的原则创作了作品，即使现在，几十年后，卡尔德仍然是这种雕塑形式的无可争议的大师。

From the 1930s on, Calder created non-mechanized hanging, standing, and wall-mounted mobiles, whose movement was driven by random air currents. Early versions often used scavenged bits of glass or pottery, while later ones were generally comprised entirely of flat metal shapes painted solid red, yellow, blue, black, or white, such as this work. Calder succeeded in integrating natural movement into sculpture by assembling elements that balance themselves naturally by weight, surface area, and length of wire arm. The basic equilibrium he struck guarantees compositional harmony among the parts, no matter their relative positions at any given moment. Though many other artists have since created works based on his principles, even now, decades later, Calder is still the undisputed master of this form of sculpture.
