Alexander Calder sculpture


 Alexander Calder

EARLY DEVELOPMENT: 1898–1925
Alexander Calder created works of art throughout his childhood. While living in Pasadena in 1906 amidst the flourishing Arts and Crafts Movement, Calder was given his first tools and a workshop where he made toys and jewelry for his sister’s dolls. For Christmas in 1909, Calder presented his parents with two of his earliest sculptures, a dog and a duck made out of bent brass sheet. In his twenties, Calder moved to New York and studied at the Art Students League where he produced paintings congruous with the Ashcan aesthetic. He worked concurrently at the National Police Gazette, illustrating sporting events and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and he made hundreds of brush drawings of animals at the Bronx and Central Park zoos, later published in Animal Sketching. Calder commonly used sheet metal and wire for sculptures and other projects during this period.

"Lyin' Ted. Lies. Ooh, he lies. Here comes the blue wave.

Trump tweeted the phrase a whopping 27 times


"I don't get angry often," said Cruz. "But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that will do it every time. Donald Trump, you're a sniveling coward. Leave Heidi the hell alone."

As winter turned to spring, however, Trump took direct aim at Cruz -- labeling him "Lyin' Ted." Over and over again, Trump said some version of this: "Lyin' Ted. Lies. Ooh, he lies. You know Ted. He brings the Bible, holds it high, puts it down, lies." From March 13 to May 6 -- the heart of their heated battle, Trump tweeted the phrase a whopping 27 times, according to the Dallas Morning News.
