"MYRTLE BURL", a 1941 sculpture by Alexander Calder, is a prime example of his iconic "mobile" style. This kinetic sculpture features abstract, colorful forms that appear to dance in the air, suspended from wire rods and chains. The base is a natural burl of myrtle wood, providing a grounding element for the dynamic composition. Calder's mobiles are often characterized by their playful movement and harmonious balance of color and form. This artwork embodies his playful exploration of abstract forms and the interaction between art and space.
