"It would be hard to find a better example of consummate grace than the seal, or a more difficult model for the artist. The mental and physical processes of which we have spoken, must be in perfect coordination in order to transmit even something of the extravagant rhythmic movement of this graceful animal." (Alexander Calder, Animal Sketching, 1926, p. 11).
