"Wenn alles gut geht, ist ein Mobile ein Stück Poesie, das vor Lebensfreude und Überraschung tanzt!" -Alexander Calder

Geschichte

Alexander Calder war eine Schlüsselfigur in der Entwicklung der abstrakten Bildhauerei und ist bekannt für seine bahnbrechenden Arbeiten in der kinetischen Kunst; er ist einer der einflussreichsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Prelude to the Man-Eater ist eine fein ausbalancierte, stehende Skulptur, die auf Luftströmungen reagiert und so eine sich ständig verändernde und dynamische visuelle Erfahrung schafft.

Calders Standmobile waren das Ergebnis seines ständigen Experimentierens mit Materialien, Form und Gleichgewicht. Alfred Barr, der erste Direktor des Museum of Modern Art in New York, beauftragte Calder 1945 mit der Schaffung eines neuen Stehmobiles. Das vorliegende Werk ist eine formale Studie für dieses Auftragswerk, Man-Eater With Pennant. Prelude to the Man-Eater ist wie die Skulptur im MoMA so konzipiert, dass sie aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln betrachtet werden kann und den Betrachter dazu anregt, um sie herumzugehen und mit ihr zu interagieren. Bei beiden Werken bewegen sich die verschiedenen Metallteile um einen zentralen Pfosten. Maquetten und Studien spielten in Calders Praxis eine wichtige Rolle, da sie ihm die Möglichkeit boten, den Maßstab und das Gleichgewicht zu verstehen, bevor er das Werk vergrößerte. Oft existierten diese Maquetten jahrzehntelang in kleinerem Format, bevor sie vergrößert wurden, oder sie existierten einfach in ihrer Größe und wurden nie zu größeren Werken verarbeitet. In Prelude können wir sehen, dass Calder im Vergleich zum endgültigen Werk im MoMA eher vertikal dachte.

Prelude to the Man-Eater ist auch in Calders Vorbereitungszeichnung vertreten, Skizzen für Mobiles: Prelude to Man-Eater; Starfish; Octopusdargestellt, die sich in der ständigen Sammlung des Harvard Fogg Museum befindet.
