He foreshadowed his career by making his own toys growing up, took
artistic inspiration from the solar system, drove a convertible in winter
wearing a sheepskin for a coat, and was responsible for the biggest controversy
to hit Grand Rapids, Michigan. Such was the long and colorful career of
Alexander "Sandy" Calder, inventor of the mobile as an art form and creator
of the ubiquitous giant abstract sculptures that grace many of the world's
cities, including the aforementioned one in Michigan. This 55-minute video
biography takes the viewer from his 1898 birth through his death in 1976,
using his prolific art--more than 16,000 pieces--to help tell his story.
In between shots of the lyrical moving mobiles and the majestic multistory
animal-like sculptures there is footage of a playful Calder performing
with his pieces and talking about work, as well as interviews with art
experts and friends such as playwright Arthur Miller. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Charlton Heston
Carol Reed (The Third Man) directed this 1965 portrait of the relationship
between Michelangelo (Charlton Heston) and Pope Julius II (Rex Harrison),
who commissioned the artist to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Based
on a novel by Irving Stone, the script plods along, juggling the dynamics
between the two men along with a somewhat perfunctory love story and distracting
battle sequences. Reed seems more attuned to the nuances and great pains
of the artistic process, as seen in sequences of Michelangelo working.
But the overall focus of the film is unfortunately fuzzy. --Tom Keogh

The
Horse's Mouth - Criterion Collection (1958) DVD
DVD from Home Vision Entertainment
starring Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh
directed by Ronald Neame
Alec Guinness was in the full bloom of his stardom when
he suggested, scripted, and starred in this wonderfully odd 1958 adaptation
of Joyce Cary's novel. As Gulley Jimson, a gravel-voiced, antisocial painter,
whose artistic drive is as single-minded (and as self-absorbed) as a terrier's,
Guinness sketches one of his carefully constructed marvels. The film has
a bumpily episodic structure, but when it works, it really works: Gulley
inhabiting (and mostly destroying) a penthouse apartment when the upper-crusty
owners go on holiday for six weeks, or marshaling an army of apprentices
to create a masterpiece on a giant wall in a condemned building. Departing
from the novel, Guinness concocted the movie's madcap ending, which is
guaranteed to bring a smile. Adding verve is the music, adapted from Prokofiev's
Lieutenant Kijé, which fits Gulley like the paint under his dirty nails.
The artworks, vivid and thick, are by John Bratby. --Robert Horton -
