Snow Flurry I 1948

"Snow Flurry I" is a 1948 mobile sculpture by Alexander Calder, known for his innovative approach to abstract art. The mobile, crafted from thin wires and painted metal discs, hangs delicately in the air, its elements moving with the slightest breeze. The interplay of light and shadow on the white discs creates a sense of movement and dynamism, reflecting Calder's fascination with kinetic art. The work is a prime example of Calder's "mobiles", a term he coined for these suspended sculptures that use the forces of gravity and air currents to create captivating visual experiences. "Snow Flurry I" is a testament to Calder's artistic genius, captivating viewers with its delicate balance and intricate design. It is on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
