Woman with Stroller
Bronze (1950)
Pablo Picasso
"After seeing his lover Françoise Gilot push their son, Claude, in a carriage, Picasso began to construct this sculpture. A master scavenger, he assembled it out of found materials before casting a bronze version. Cake molds, stove plates, a table mat, rolled metal sheets, and pieces of pottery come together in this monument to motherhood."
“True pillar of subtle light embrace humanity between dimensions,
they are serene consciousness washing the pains of all soul’s.” ― Dave Zebian
I am a sculptor, a molder of form.
In every moment I shape an idol.
But then, in front of you, I melt them down
I can rouse a hundred forms
and fill them with spirit,
but when I look into your face,
I want to throw them in the fire.
My souls spills into yours and is blended.
Because my soul has absorbed your fragrance,
I cherish it.
Every drop of blood I spill
informs the earth,
I merge with my Beloved
when I participate in love.
In this house of mud and water,
my heart has fallen to ruins.
Enter this house, my Love, or let me leave.
Geneva Saar Ágústsson: Labeled Autistic
Lezley Saar
"Image of the artist's autistic seven-year-old daughter Geneva as an adult Madonna, with a beautiful floral arrangement for the body, and a zipper across the mouth, symbolizing the silence of autism. Three small oranges hang above her head. Surrounding Geneva are images of trees, lakes, and mountains separated by white-washed pieces of wood."
