- This book is pretty much what the publisher says it is a more intimate view of an artist's life than you get in most monographs.
There are many photographs and some entertaining, telling anecdotes you probably won't read anywhere else a favorite of mine was the owner of IBM dropping by Calder's studio and finding $125 too much to pay for a work he was interested in. If you're young you may never have heard of IBM - that's why it's a telling story. So yes - you get these little glimpses of a life but they tell the big story of a man in his time in his culture, told by someone with the tone of a friend who was there in person. - The book of course is marvelous - an inspiration! A welcome addition to any artist's library - or any library for that matter. But the book seller WisePenny.com shipped fast, and also included such a sweet little note. I would buy from them again - for sure!!!
- Beautiful book about Calder. Unseen works of art and a peek inside his studio. Adored the amount of text, as I enjoy learning about the artists.
- In combination, the photography and text tell an intimate story about Calder, his wife, their life together and what mattered most to them, which you readers find anywhere else. One comes away with the sense that both of them would have enjoyed and appreciated this book as much as I do. I think this is one of the best "art books" published in years.
- Fast service and the book was in good condition, as described. Very beautiful photos. We learned of this from a PBS show and were not disappointed in the book.
- One of my favorite books. I bought this one as a gift for a friend. I highly recommend this book.
- ok
- I had a copy of this, autographed by the author, but it went missing when I moved. I liked it so much, though, that I'm going to replace it. The author's intimacy with Calder's household gives wonderful photographs, and it's great fun to see Calder's genius and sense of joy in the way he made every-day household items, as well as the famous stabiles and mobiles. The book is unusual, and a real pleasure to own.
