Wind toys of César Manrique
An important part of César Manrique´s sculpture are his mobiles, what he called Wind Toy. These are solid structures, heavy, cast in iron, made up of spheres, circles, pyramids…that establish an interpenetrating complicated opposing rotational movement.Without doubt he had associated his images with the wind mills, abundant in Lanzarote in the past. He wanted to fill that geography with these substitute references, since the wind mills were disappearing. His plans included placing the Wind Toys in different strategic spots throughout the island.
