{"product_id":"attribuibile-ad-alexander-calder-senza-titolo","title":"Attributable to Alexander Calder - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work is an abstract composition. \"Abstract\" derives from the Latin term \"abstrahere,\" which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e \nAlexander Calder, to whom the work may be attributed, devoted his entire pictorial research to a pure, uncompromising abstraction rooted in the historical avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century. Like the Russian master, Calder's aim in painting is to transform all reality into a pure perception, uncontaminated by any descriptive frills. This requires a remarkable abstraction of reality and perceived things, which, paradoxically, leads to reducing the perceptible world to the iconic concreteness of pure forms and pure colors. Thus, Calder's art, like that of historical abstraction, is composed of geometric shapes, circles and lines, and the presence of essential colors, managed according to rational criteria of complementarity. However, Calder's abstraction has its own distinctive aesthetic that makes this artist entirely original. His compositions are founded, above all, on a marked minimalism. The purity of geometric forms and colors is enhanced by a two-dimensional dimension. The space, completely white, is sparse, filled with a few elements and sparse graphic signs. Everything, therefore, conveys a sense of ethereal lightness that harks back to the artist's sculptural practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work could be attributed to Alexander Calder, an American sculptor (Lawnton, 1898 – New York, 1976). With his work, he skillfully combined engineering and art and helped change the way forms are conceived in space. Calder is famous for his Mobiles, abstract moving sculptures, but also for the Circus Calder, a miniature circus that the sculptor animates and directs like a real circus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mannino Massimo (50000)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218548208002,"sku":"MMAN004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/ATTRIBUIBILE-A-ALEXANDER-CALDER.jpg?v=1768474161","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/attribuibile-ad-alexander-calder-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
