Alexander Calder / David Smith

Description

In this work, the trajectories of Alexander Calder and David Smith intertwine like twin forces carving space with daring and gravity. Under their hands, metal sheds its weight to become movement, tension, embodied poetry. Their sculptures converse across distance in a silent choreography, each form poised between fall and flight. At the heart of this visual narrative, Ugo Mulas's photographs capture the intimacy of creation, revealing the artists as alchemists of emptiness. The book thus unfolds as a sensorial passage through a pivotal moment in American art, where sculpture discovers a new breath.
