"Throughout his long career as one of the pioneering sculptors of the twentieth century, Alexander Calder has been unusually reticent, making very few statements about his work and theorizing as little as possible when he could be persuaded to speak. 'When an artist explains what he is doing,' he wrote in 1937, 'he usually has to do one of two things: either scrap what he has explained, or make subsequent work fit in with the explanation. Theories may be all very well for the artist himself, but they shouldn't be broadcast to other people" - from the text. Book about Alexander Calder. Time Period 20th Century.
