Detailed Description
Kinetic art is a type of art that contains moving parts or depends on motion for its effect. It is usually considered to be a form of Op Art. Kinetic art is often associated with the work of artists who are interested in technology and science, and who make use of new materials and new forms of energy. The term “kinetic art” was first coined by the artist Naum Gabo in the 1940s. He used it to describe his sculptures which were made from materials that could move in response to external forces such as wind or water. Since then, kinetic art has been used to describe a wide range of artworks that rely on movement for their effect. These include mobiles by Alexander Calder, light art by Dan Flavin, and sound art by Max Neuhaus. Famous kinetic artists include: Naum Gabo Alexander Calder Dan Flavin Max Neuhaus Some famous kinetic artworks include: “Untitled” by Naum Gabo (1940) “Mobile” by Alexander Calder (1946) “Flavin Lights” by Dan Flavin (1964) “Sound Installation” by Max Neuhaus (1966)
