The Calder Foundation website describes him as the the most acclaimed and influential sculptor of our time."

Calder invented the mobile as a new method of sculpting: "by bending and twisting wire, he essentially 'drew' three-dimensional figures in space," according to the biography on the foundation's website.

Blogger Frank Watson, in his post at Search Engine Watch, call the Doodle "clever". "The doodle is clever -- it moves when you mouse around it – and there is a spot where it almost disappears. The shadow below the search box moves in synch, too," says Watson.
