Traveling Art Shows?

Jaci and I were out for a walk on day 6 of our COVID-19 quarantine. As a train approached, she made her way down to this vantage point and sat down. She didn't say a word for about 10 minutes as the train passed. After the train was gone, she stood up and said appreciatively, "A traveling art show."

Later, I was inspired to do a little looking into the art form. Who knew? This seems to put a whole new twist on the classic, "Train A left station A at...," physics/math problem.

Alexander Calder

Artist and engineer, Alexander Calder, described the his art as being realized...

...out of different masses, light, heavy, middling—indicated by variations of size or color—directional lines—vectors which represent speeds, velocities, accelerations, forces, etc...—these directions making between them meaningful angles, and senses, together defining one big conclusion or many. [Alexander Calder, “Comment réaliser l’art?” Abstraction Création, Art Non Figuratif, no. 1, 1932]
