    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!

    This is not just art, it is a science and psychology.
    Glory to the genius of this man.
    Thank you.

    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 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!)!

    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
