In the winter of 1925, while still enrolled at the Art Students League in New York, Calder made hundreds of sketches of animals during trips to the Bronx and Central Park zoos. Through fluid brushwork and an economy of line, Calder conveyed a sense of these creatures springing to life. The following year, 141 of them were published in his manual Animal Sketching: “There is always a feeling of perpetual motion about animals and to draw them successfully this must be borne in mind.”

About Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder (1898–1976) was an American sculptor celebrated as the inventor of the mobile. Trained as an engineer, he combined playful wit with mechanical ingenuity, creating hanging abstract sculptures of balanced, brightly coloured forms that move with the air, as well as monumental stationary works known as stabiles that stand in public spaces around the world.
