July 22:Edward Hopper (1882–1967)；



Happy birthday to American sculptor Alexander Calder born today in 1898. Known for his mobiles, Calder embraced the meanings implied by the French term, both referring to a motive and something movable, even quick and unstable, and used it for his works where elements moved by currents of air.

Quotes

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.
My fan mail is enormous. Everyone is under six.
