"Calder's Lobster Trap and Fish Tail is a hugely important piece of Art History because it changed the way people saw sculpture. Before Calder all sculpture was static, something to symbolize rigidity, and by adding a graceful motion to his sculptures Calder redefined the genre forever. Sculptures could now have grace, and they could change into a completely different form. His radical designs were unlike anything made before and furthered the abstract movement. With moving sculptures, onlookers could see different meanings and interpretations each time they looked at them. He truly revolutionized sculpture in modern art."
