Calder is one of the most important contemporary american sculptors, born in Penn on July 22, 1898
Originally he wanted to study mechanical engineering, he not only explored sculpting but also, painting and producing toys and art from wires, wires were originally what inspired him to leave his engeneering career to persue his true passion, her is what he said in his bio:
It was early one morning on a calm sea, off Guatemala, when over my couch — a coil of rope — I saw the beginning of a fiery red sunrise on one side and the moon looking like a silver coin on the other.
