Colar

ca. 1940
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 965
Entre 1933 e 1952, Calder produziu mais de mil e oitocentas joias. Muitas delas foram destinadas a familiares ou amigos como presentes para ocasiões especiais. Cada colar, pulseira, anel, broche ou par de brincos tinha um design exclusivo, feito à mão, no qual o artista aplicava suas habilidades como artesão de metal e seu humor visual, como na criação de móveis e esculturas de arame retorcido. Para fazer este colar, Calder martelou fios de latão até convertê-los em tiras planas, que então combinou em um desenho linear diretamente relacionado com os retratos em arame de sua juventude.
