Calder's work often embraces which aspect in their aesthetic?
Repetition
Simplicity
Chance
Symmetry
Answer
The work of Alexander Calder often embraces the aspect of chance in their aesthetic. For example, Calder's mobiles are sculptures that are suspended from the ceiling and move in the air. The way that the mobiles move is determined by the forces of gravity and air currents, which are outside of Calder's control. This element of chance adds to the dynamism and visual appeal of Calder's work.
