Alexander Calder (USA, 1898-1976)
#Goldfish Bowl, 1929
Wire, 16 x 15 x 6 in.

ℹ️ This is Calder’s his first formal mechanized sculpture - the two fish wiggle as you turn a crank. He gave it to his mother as a Christmas gift.

official photo of the wire sculpture on grey background “Before 25 December 1929 Calder creates his first formal mechanized sculpture, Goldfish Bowl, and presents it to his mother as a Christmas gift. For his father, he makes a brass wire fish. In a letter to Peggy, Nanette writes, He made me a fish tank of brass wire, with two fish that wiggle as you turn a crank made also of wire. Waves are indicated along the top. For your Dad a large fish that is now hanging from the electric light. Peggy, it is remarkable. One wire beginning at his tail, running along the backbone to the head where the eyes and mouth are faultlessly placed. Then the wire loops around the back bone as it travels back to form the other half of the tail. This is hard to describe, but it is really wonderful as is the fish bowl in which the fishes bend as tho [sic] swimming.”

official auction photo of the artwork in frame Painting of a mixed school of colorful marine fish swimming in and out of frame in green-blue water “This work is a typical piece by the French painter Mildred Bendall. Bendall trained with Felix Carme, and later joined the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris. It was whilst studying at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière that Bendall came into contact with many of the influential artists who were residing in Paris in the early twentieth century, an experience which had a significant impact on Bendalls own art. Bendalls friendship with many of the most famous artists in twentieth-century Europe is demonstrated by the fact that Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Pierre Bonnard and Maurice Utrillo, among others, submitted work for the yearly exhibitions of the Artistes Indépendants bordelaise, which was co-founded by Bendall. Bendalls close relationship with Henri Matisse was arguably the connection which had the greatest effect on the paintings which the former produced. Elements of the Fauvist approach espoused by Matisse can be perceived in much of Bendalls work, and is particularly evident in the bright, vibrant colours of this piece. Bendalls paintings were exhibited by the Galerie de Paris in 1936 alongside work by Kees van Dongen, Raoul Dufy and Max Jacob. Her work is now in the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the Paris Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Bordeaux.”

Friday fish drawing: the pencil drawing shows a small human figure seen as a light silhouette against a group of distant, dark towers that are shaped like fishes. The gound is smooth and could be snow, with the person‘s footsteps visible, and the air seems misty.

Freitagsfischbild: Bleistiftzeichnung. Eine kleine menschliche Figur zeichnet sich als heller Umriss vor einer Gruppe ferner, dunkler Türme ab, die wie Fische geformt sind. Auf dem Boden (Schnee?) sind die Fußspuren der Person zu sehen, wie sie auf die Türme zugeht, die ein wenig im Dunst verschwimmen.

Blood Parrots are such Camera hogs. They photo bomb my craft store shoots constantly. This clip makes me think I should have named them Three Stooges.

Hands up who is sick of my videos with no sound except for the gurgling of the filters and the occasional cat meowing. I realize this is late for #FishFriday but is this an improvement? I am old and do not adapt well to new things but am giving Sound a try.
Better or worse now? Frankly I watch most videos with the sound off cuz dat noiz aint musak.

a large floating aquarium decor habitat. In fishland, to be seen is to be eaten so most fish will avoid the top of the tank where it offers no shelter from those that see you as a meal. This is a huge part of your aquarium that is basically empty. These floating caves allow you to Level UP! and reclaim that territory for fish to use and feel safe. Add two or three and they chase each other through them.

Happy Fish Friday!

Always happy when my fish use the decor hides I made them, doubly so when they will sit still for photo proof.

One floating aquarium habitat complete with Blood Parrot fish hanging out inside it. An Aqua Creature is below; specifically this is Minion to Beelzebubbles,

I have shifted my craft store focus from the floating habitats to my new Aqua Creatures! Using large mouthed glass and plastic jars adorned with shells, acrylic gems, glow in the dark stones, faux pearls and aquarium plants all held together with only 100% fish safe silicone glue. With some really cool dragon eyes from Temu, I have created an entire family off Goofy creatures suitable for fish to hang out in.
