WHAT IS A STABILE?
ART NOTE: Some movable sculpture is known as a mobile.
Maybe you have seen one hanging in a building lobby or on a stand or
in an art museum.
This craft is art as a Stabile: A stabile is one kind
of stationary abstract sculpture, developed by the 20th-century American
artist Alexander Calder. It usually hangs or is held up on a stand or
hook, but does not move! (stabe -eel) |
