“The universe is real, but you can't see it. You have to imagine it.”

So the #artist Alexander #Calder (known for his mobiles) apparently also liked the #circus and designed a series of small circus acts (sword swallower, belly dancer, lion tamer, trapeze artists, elephants…) out of wire, wood, fabric and other materials. He then invited friends over to watch the show. His wife Louisa was in charge of background music on the record player. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t6jwnu8Izy0&pp=ygUTTGUgY2lycXVlIGRlIGNhbGRlcg%3D%3D&ra=m

I particularly liked the #linocut poster for his circus. Exhibited at the #FondationLouisVuitton.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14 I did this design for one of my graphic design classes. It's a poster for an imaginary kite festival. My inspiration for the kites was a Calder mobile, then the main string contains event info. #EastCoastKin #GraphicDesign #Art #Calder
