Gallery Talk: Pablo Picasso's
Homme au mouton
<p>Christie's Impressionist & Modern Art Specialist Adrien Meyer discusses Pablo Picasso's <em>Homme au mouton</em>, a unique sheet metal sculpture which demonstrates the innovative spirit that continued to inform Picasso’s work, even in his later years. Instead of plaster or clay, Picasso produced this new version by cutting and folding a simple paper maquette, which he then gave to professional metal-workers to re-create in sheet metal. The result is an engaging three-dimensional sculpture that is at once both modern and archaic in its sensibilities, and profoundly Mediterranean in inspiration. (RT: 3:12)</p>
