Strangely unique and surreal circus art from Alexander Calder. Suggested by one of our readers, Morgan Wilson.
From Wikipedia:
Alexander Calder (July 22, 1898 – November 11, 1976), also known as Sandy Calder, was an American sculptor and artist most famous for inventing the mobile. In addition to mobile and stabile sculpture, Alexander Calder also created paintings, lithographs, toys, tapestry and jewelry.
