There's a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons – That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes – Heavenly Hurt, it gives us – We can find no scar, But internal difference – Where the Meanings, are – None may teach it – Any – 'Tis the seal Despair – An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air – When it comes, the Landscape listens – Shadows – hold their breath – When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death –

Un hombre que cultiva su jardín, como quería Voltaire./ El que agradece que en la tierra haya música./ El que descubre con placer una etimología./ Dos empleados que en un café del Sur juegan un silencioso ajedrez./ El ceramista que premedita un color y una forma./ El tipógrafo que compone bien esta página, que tal vez no le agrada./ Una mujer y un hombre que leen los tercetos finales de cierto canto./ El que acaricia a un animal dormido./ El que justifica o quiere justificar un mal que le han hecho./ El que agradece que en la tierra haya Stevenson./ El que prefiere que los otros tengan razón./ Esas personas, que se ignoran, están salvando el mundo.

Alexander Calder

"The universe is real but you can’t see it. You have to imagine it. Once you imagine it, you can be realistic about reproducing it." —Alexander Calder

One of the most celebrated sculptors of the 20th century, Alexander Calder was born on this day in 1898, in Pennsylvania.

Upon moving to Paris in 1926, Calder befriended several important Abstract artists, including Joan Miró (Spanish, 1896-1983) and Piet Mondrian (Dutch, 1872-1944), and was invited to join the group Abstraction-Création in 1931. Inspired by the work of his fellow artists, he incorporated Abstract Kinetic elements into his sculptures, creating the Mobiles he is best known for today.
