My visit to the Gemeente museum in The Hague ,The Netherlands, was a real buzz , Alexander Calder's works are very free and almost sketch like and play full ,so much so that at first glance they look child like , but so sophisticated at the same time. For me a person in whatever disciplines who can portray these qualities, connects the realm of the mind with the hand and visa versa. And hereby walk the path of the conjurer,a person that can connect with the sub human wanderings .Pathfinders in our society and pioneers.
Portrait of Pieter Mondrian , Calder was very much inspired by his works
