Select curvilinear motifs abound in Calder’s works. These intuitively distilled patterns, rhythms, and symbols reappear across mediums—in paintings, drawings, sculptures, and jewelry—expressing endless motion. “There are environments that appear to remain fixed,” he once wrote, “whilst there are small occurrences that take place at great speed across them.” The various iterations of spirals in Calder’s two-dimensional works—projections from a plane into space—highlight his interest in the fourth dimension.
