Alexander Calder Art Quotations
"My fan mail is enormous. Everyone is under six." - Alexander Calder
The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from. -- Alexander Calder quote
"I paint with shapes." -- Alexander Calder
"If you can imagine a thing, conjure it up in space then you can make it . . . The universe is real but you can't see it. You have to imagine it. Then you can be realistic about reproducing it." -- Alexander Calder
"My whole theory about art is the disparity that exists between form, masses and movement." -- Alexander Calder
