Oh man, Calder. Never understood him, nor have I rated what he has done. I guess the guy went to a Miro exhibition and was like 'yo this is the one - but make it a lamp'.
Talking about Joan Miro, his art never really catered to my taste. Tells a lot about the history of art education that Miro is the first every book tends to talk about when disserting about European experimental art. Miro's art is incomparably inferior to Giacometti's and Raoul Ubac's to name a few.
To draw another bad fashion liaison, Calder and Miro are the Jacquemus of art. Unsurprisingly, the same audience likes both of them, merely consisting of 20-ish, artsy liberal arts students who are collecting that ugly Taschen book collection on artists.
If you all aren't familiar with Raoul Ubac I think you would find him rather amazing I link a few of his oeuvres down here:
