Well known for his candor and pragmatic sensibility, Alexander Calder was as direct, ingenious, and straight to the point in life as he was in his art. “Personnages”, for example, is unabashedly dynamic, a work that recalls his early love of the action of the circus as well as his insights into human nature.

...MOINS.....
Connu pour sa franchise et sa sensibilité pragmatique, Alexander Calder était aussi direct, ingénieux et direct dans la vie que dans son art. "Personnages", par exemple, est une œuvre résolument dynamique, qui rappelle son amour précoce pour l'action du cirque ainsi que sa compréhension de la nature humaine. Le caractère de "Personnages" suggère un dessin spontané dans l'espace, rappelant ses sculptures radicales en fil de fer des années 1920.
