How’s it hangin’, ya’ll? Alexander Calder revolutionized the art of sculpture with his development of the mobile. Until that point, sculptures had primarily been static objects, firmly planted on the ground. Calder’s innovation was to introduce the element of movement by suspending his sculptures from the ceiling. His mobiles were created in such a way that the different elements of the work remained in a state of balance and would move and rotate as they were affected by the air. Calder’s color scheme in “Caracas” and many other works was influenced by a visit in 1930 to the Parisian studio of painter Piet Mondrian, who at that time was working almost exclusively with a palette of primary colors, white, and black. #OKCMOAMovingVision #MyOKCMOA Credit: Alexander Calder (American, 1898–1976) “Caracas,” 1955, sheet metal, rod, and paint.

Optical illusion was nothing new to painting, from the rediscovery of linear and atmospheric perspective during the Renaissance to the experiments of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in the late nineteenth century. Op art emerged in very different circumstances, coming at a time when abstraction was synonymous with serious art. With new materials like acrylic, Plexiglas, and aluminum, Kinetic artists broke from traditional marble or bronze sculpture. Suspending and automating their objects, sculptures were no longer fixed in space but could move and respond to the environment they shared with the viewer. “Moving Vision” surveys more than two decades of Op and Kinetic art, featuring the founder of Kinetic art, Alexander Calder; influential Op artist Victor Vasarely; and other internationally celebrated artists. #MyOKCMOA
