For Decorations WHAT IS IT?—This is tiie question asked by Burt Hoff, freshman from Windthorst, as he looks at the mobile in the main lounge of the Memorial Student Center. The mobile, constructed entirely by students, is one example of this new form of both art and decoration that is coming into wide use today. (Ed. note—This is the first in a series of four articles about the use of mobiles in home decoration. Source ma terial is from Associated Press newsfeatures.) The distraught husband rushed into the kitchen. “What’s that thing hanging in the living room ? It tried to bite me when I came in.” “Now, now,” said his wife sooth ingly. “You must have bumped into my mobile. I’m so glad you like it.” “But I didn’t say. . . ” Made It Herself “I made it myself for $1.78,” she said, modestly smoothing her apron, “and it looks almost like one at the art gallery that’s priced at a thousand dollars.” “A thousand dollars?” His voice rose to a squeak. “They’re really the SMARTEST thing in home decoration. And legitimate art, too.” She faltered. “I should think you would be proud of me , instead of . . . ” “Oh I am, I am, honest I am, honey.” Thus the mobile entered another home to become a focal point of decoration and conversation. What Is It? Just what is this thing that startled the unsuspecting husband? The mobile is a series of shapes connected by wire arms and related through balance, form and color. It does exactly what its name says it should: move. The test of a good mobile, how ever, is not that it moves, but that its movement is more interesting than a heavy wobble. The slightest brush against its airy design should set off infinite chain re actions. Moving Sculpture Because it is three-dimensional, unlike any other art from except sculpture, it is often called moving sculpture. It is also related to other forms since the wires resemble the lines in drawings and the pieces often look like abstract figures in paintings. The mobile as we know it today was created by Alexander Calder, American artist and sculptor. He is still constructing mobiles—so well that a Calder mobile costs upwards of $2,000. One of the same size, designed by men with an eye to mass production, can be bought for around $10. On a less arty level the mobile is moving along with increased momentum. Business Use Besides home decoration, mobiles are used in business to display merchandise or just to attract at tention. As toys, they are both fun and educational. As Christmas de corations, they have received per haps their widest use.
