A Explore the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, which offers a relaxing setting for you to enjoy works of modern sculpture. Chair Transformation Number 20B, made in 1996-by Lucas Samaras Here, Samaras explores the double meaning of "flight", referring to both the starlike form created by the stacked chairs, and the movement of a single chair moving through space. From different viewpoints, the sculpture appears to be upright, leaning back, or springing forward. From the side, it even appears like a zigzagging(之字形的)line. Typewriter Eraser, Scale X, made in 1998-by Coosje van Bruggen The artist chose the typewriter eraser as his model for this work based upon childhood memories of playing with the object in his father's office. Here the brush arcs(作弧形运动)back, conveying a sense of motion, as if the wheel-like eraser were rolling down the hill and making its way towards the gate of the garden. Moondog, model 1974, made in 1998-1999-by Tony Smith The title itself comes from two sources: Moondog was the name of a blind poet and folk musician who lived in New York City, and Smith has also compared this sculpture to Dog Barking at the Moon, a painting by Joan Miro. He first created Moondog in 1974 as a 33-inch cardboard model and cast it in bronze as a garden sculpture in 1980. This version was designed by Smith, but it was not completed until after his death. Cheval Rouge (Red Horse), made in 1964-by Alexander Calder During the last two decades of his life, Alexander Calder devoted his greatest efforts to large- scale mobiles and stabiles(立式抽象派雕塑), many of which have become popular public landmarks in cities around the world. Here the silky legs and tensile(张力的)up-thrust "neck" recall the power of a horse. This stabile reflects Calder’s statement: "I want to make things that are fun to look at." 21. What can we learn about the sculpture Moondog? A. It was originally intended for a garden. B. It was the only work of its creator. C. It was inspired by a modem paint
