Alexander Calder's kinetic mobiles have fun with art | Full Documentary | American Masters | PBS
"In a time of constant artistic upheaval, Alexander Calder’s aesthetic revolution concerned itself with a somewhat taboo topic in the art world — fun. His prolific and passionate output brought with it a humor and sense of play unlike any before. From a wire animal the size of a match box to a fountain filled with mercury to a seventy foot representation of a man in metal, Calder ignored the formal structures of art and in so doing redefined what art could be. This documentary originally aired on June 17th, 1998." from the video introduction
