HEL PLEASE WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST PLUS 30 POINTS \Alexander Calder
You might not recognize the name Alexander Calder. But he is famous for something that you would have seen, or maybe even made. Calder is known as the artist who "invented" the mobile. A mobile is a moving piece at art. It hangs from the ceiling or a frame, and it moves with the air currents. A motor can also move it.

Calder grew up in a family of artists, but he wasn't very interested in art. His childhood was full of sports and school. He enjoyed making things. In 1919, he earned a degree in mechanical engineering. Three years later he took drawing lessons and began doing artwork for a magazine. In 1926, he went to Paris, France.

In Paris he worked on sculptures. For fun, he created small toy animals of wood and wire. This later became a tiny circus. He also created very large wire figures. One is a woman's figure, called "Spring"; it is seven feet tall. Calder met many other artists in Europe, but he did much of his work alone. His first major mobile was shown at the Paris World's Fair in 1937. From there, his work became larger. Many museums bought his art; sometimes the mobile or sculpture would need a whole room. Calder traveled and worked all over the world. And the little circus? It's now in the Whitney Museum in New York.
