Alexander Calder performs his "Circus" | Whitney Museum of American Art

[@mochilasatierra]

The inner child that makes art amusing.

[@YuriyShevnin]

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

[@annamariagrosso5857]

Grazie infinite!!! Che emozione il piacere di Calder all'opera con le sue creazioni 💕

[@jlambert61]

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!

[@apollobyprod]

Sameeeeee

[@stormyknight7266]

Yep

[@infinitestars123]

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

[@crosstatt7441]

Reading about Alexander Calder back in elementary school sent me here! This guy was spectacular!

[@MrBraainnWaash]

You guys are unbelievable ! Calder is one of the biggest artists of the 20th century, damn !

[@joannehein7497]

Loved the clever, inventive circus acts from the mobile master! Loved the one at the Whitney Museum today and this earlier one

[@ElisseGoldsteinClark]

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!)!

[@leu3368]

Man this is so wholesome, thanks dude

[@madamewoselle]

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.

[@aj134000]

We saw this at the Whitney. It is fabulous!

[@MsGabriele58]

Je trouve que cela a gardé une telle fraicheur , un vrai bonheur !

[@ZeacorZeppelin]

I actually saw this exhibit in the Whitney, it was amazing.

[@ministryofsumthing]

this is as entertaining as it is aesthetically pleasing

[@elifcoban]

bitirme projeme çalışırken denk geldiğim videonun güzelliği...

[@henryhammond7393]

Oh god I remember this from art class when I was a wee lad... wanted my own mini circus then and want one now.

[@morphybum]

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.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love his work!!

[@punchinella24]

Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@Chamad233]

[@kailareed945]

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.

[@onnyglare]

@MrSmashface where does your Picasso quote come from? I googled it exactly as you typed (cut and paste) but do not find it.

[@youth4181]

i love how innocent he is. it's hard to be pure in this modern day

[@vanessalol562]

Jättebra video 10 tummar upp👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@deonejones9778]

Vanessa b why are different language people are coming

[@MrFalconford]

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

[@pagliaccinodlemantra]

I LOVE IT

[@AndresDrakulAlcaide]

The real meaning of epicness.

Happy birthay :D Mr. Alexander ^^
