Geometric Mouse, Scale A 1975

Claes Oldenburg's 1975 "Geometric Mouse, Scale A" is a large-scale sculpture composed of white painted geometric forms, including circles, squares, and rectangles. The sculpture's title, "Geometric Mouse," suggests the artist's playful approach to monumental scale and his exploration of common objects. This piece is a classic example of Pop Art, a movement that emerged in the mid-20th century and emphasized everyday objects and imagery. Oldenburg's work often transforms everyday objects into monumental scale, drawing attention to their forms and challenging the viewer's perception of scale and reality.
