Calder: 1930
I went to see the Vanity Fair Portraits Exhibit at LACMA last night. I thought it would be one big PR stunt for Annie Liebowitz who is currently releasing a book. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the portraits showed a great range since the magazine’s inception in the 1913 through today. I have a calendar of these portraits, and the quote from Dorothy Parker that goes along with this Alexander Calder photo (above) is:
“i hate the office, it cuts into my social life”
How cool to think that Calder’s office was his studio, where he got to mess around with making mobiles all day long!
