Hey what’s up. Welcome, to the first installment of a new weekly series debuting today on The Worley Gig: Modern Art Monday! Each Monday, I will be posting a classic piece of modern art photographed by me on a visit to MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) right here in Manhattan! This week’s featured work is the Pablo Picasso sculpture, Head of a Warrior (1933). What I love about this piece is how Picasso’s exaggerated proportions make the head look a bit cartoonish. Although the head is crafted from plaster, wood and metal it is meant to emulate the look of a classic marble sculpture.
The Museum of Modern Art is Located at 11 West 53rd St, Between 5th and 6th Avenues, in NYC.
