The man credited with establishing the kinetic art form known as the mobile was, in the 1920's, an American in Paris: he was the engineer-turned-sculptor Alexander Calder. Please see an earlier Fine Arts post.
Cirque du Calder was his name for his circus-inspired early creations. It was articulated (hinged) art.
His stabiles - opposite of mobiles - were usually gigantic and made of steel.
reticulated: net-like; such as a Greek key design in a frieze.
