Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso. Pushing the limits of art and imagination since the early 20th Century. I attended their exhibit today at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. My mind is not bendy enough to fully appreciate their abstract work, but it's bendier now then before I walked in. Scroll through for some examples.
