Alexander Calder (1898–1976) moved to Paris in the late 1920s, where he found himself at the center of the city's artistic avant-garde. In 1930 he invented the mobile - an abstract sculpture made of independent parts incorporating natural or mechanical movement. He continued to explore the possibilities of this visual language for the rest of his career, eventually switching to monumental constructions and public works.
