"The simplest forms in the universe are the sphere and the circle, I represent them by discs and then I vary them. My whole theory about art is the disparity that exists between form, masses and movement" (Alexander Calder quoted in K. Kuh, The Artist's Voice: Talks with Seventeen Artists, New York, 1962, retrieved from www.calder.org).
