Pablo Picasso Baboon And Young Minneapolis Institute Of Art Postcard

Description: Pablo Picasso Baboon And Young Minneapolis Institute Of Art Postcard Baboon and Young is a bronze sculpture by Pablo Picasso. It depicts a female baboon standing up, holding its offspring. Picasso made the sculpture at his villa near Vallauris in October 1951, adding some plaster modelling to an assemblage of items. As a sculptor, Picasso pioneered the technique of assemblage, constructing works partly or entirely of "found" objects, both natural and man-made. In Baboon and Young, the artist used toy automobiles, a storage jar, and a car spring to create a playful image of motherhood. The two metal cars, undersides together, are the baboon's head; the round earthenware pot, with its high handles, makes up her torso and shoulders; and the curving steel spring forms her backbone and long tail. The rest of her body and the figure of her child were modeled from clay, and the whole piece was cast in bronze. This sculpture is On View at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minneapolis Minnesota. The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) is an arts museum located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
