Norman Rockwell’s artwork

As Seen in Vanity Fair.

View Calder’s mobiles, stabiles, drawings, and paintings in this small exhibition presented annually at the MCA. These works demonstrate the Calder’s development throughout his 50-year career. Calder combined colorful shapes taken from nature, such as snowflakes, birds, and animals, with an interest in mechanics to create whimsical mobiles that move with air currents. His explorations of both geometric and organic shapes have distinguished him as an innovator of art that responds to its physical environment. Though Calder began his career as an artist focused on drawing and painting, he is best known for creating stabiles, mobiles, and large-scale sculptures of natural forms simplified into dynamic, often whimsical creatures.

Included in this collection is Rockwell’s Connoisseur, one of his most celebrated works of art that also serves as a personal commentary on contemporary art. The Connoisseur depicts a dapper gentlemen in a museum setting, looking at an abstract expressionist “drip painting” by Jackson Pollack. In the article the Vanity Fair columnist, David Kamp, sets the record straight about America’s most beloved artist whom, during his lifetime, was all too often dismissed as kitsch and naïf. While some critics believe Rockwell’s work to be overly sentimental and borderline corny they are those that don’t understand that Rockwell is painting America the way he would like it to be, “excluding the sordid and ugly.”				Norman Rockwell Norman Rockwell's influence can be felt throughout the world, his artwork has become synonymous with the American ideal.
