Baboon and Young
''Baboon and Young'' (French: ''La guenon et son petit'') is a bronze sculpture by Pablo Picasso. It depicts a female baboon standing up, holding its offspring.
Picasso made the sculpture at his villa near Vallauris in October 1951, adding some plaster modelling to an assemblage of items. An example of the use of found objects in art, the assemblage includes two toy cars forming the female baboon's head, a pottery jar for its body, and an automobile spring for its tail.
==Background==
Picasso started to live with painter Françoise Gilot in 1946, moving together from Paris to Golfe-Juan on the Mediterranean coast in Alpes-Maritimes, and then in 1948 to a villa, "La Galloise", near Vallauris a few miles inland. Their son Claude was born in 1947 and a daughter Paloma in 1949.
Picasso's domestic arrangements found expression in his artwork in figures of nurturing or caring. ''La guenon et son petit'' was prefigured by his sculpture ''Homme et mouton'' ("Man and sheep") made in Paris in October 1944 and exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in October 1945; a cast was unveiled in the centre of Vallauris in 1950. It was followed by his 1950 works ''Femme enceinte'' ("Pregnant woman"), '' Chèvre'' ("She-Goat") and ''Femme à la pousette'' ("Woman with pushchair"), taking inspiration from Françoise and the children. All use the technique of assemblage which Picasso has used since at least 1914. ''La guenon et son petit'' can be seen as the pinnacle and ultimate end point of this line of work using free modelling added to found objects.
