Mother and child 1953

"Mother and Child" is a 1953 sculpture by Pablo Picasso, created in the artist's distinctive Cubist style. The piece depicts a mother and child in a simplified, geometric form, with the child perched atop the mother's shoulders, creating a vertical composition. The sculpture's fragmented and angular shapes reflect Picasso's exploration of form and space, highlighting the complexities of human relationships through a playful and symbolic approach. The vibrant colors and contrasting textures add a layer of dynamism to the piece, further emphasizing the abstract qualities of the sculpture.
