"This book presents the Circus and examples of the many circus sculptures in wire, wood, and bronze, as well as circus paintings, drawings, gouaches, and various other sculptures that relate to Calder's longtime interest in the circus. It is divided into three parts: the Circus years; color stills from the Pathé film of a Circus performance; and the Circus figures themselves, photographed by Marvin Schwartz, and show with related pieces in all the media that Calder has used. The occasional quotations that accompany the illustrations -- Calder's remarks about circus things - are the only text in the book. An appendix includes a chronology of events in Calder's career that relate to the Circus, detailed captions for each illustration, and an annotated bibliography."
