''Bull's Head'' ((フランス語:Tête de taureau)) is a found object artwork by Pablo Picasso, created in 1942 from seat and handlebars of a bicycle. It is described by Roland Penrose as Picasso's most famous discovery, a simple yet "astonishingly complete" metamorphosis. Picasso described the artwork in 1943 to visiting photographer George Brassaï, saying:
In 1944, catalogued as ''Bicycle Seat'', the sculpture was displayed at the Salon d'Automne in Paris together with another 78 works. Visitors were shocked by Picasso's new works and a demonstration took place, during which ''Bicycle Seat'' was one of the pieces removed from the wall. ''Bull's Head'' is described by art critic Eric Gibson as unique amongst Picasso's sculptures for its 'transparency' - the constituent found objects are not disguised. He says the sculpture is "a moment of wit and whimsy ...both childlike and highly sophisticated in its simplicity, it stands as an assertion of the transforming power of the human imagination at a time when human values were under siege."〔 The sculpture is in the permanent collection of the Picasso Museum in Paris.〔(Pablo Picasso, ''Tête de taureau (Bull's Head)'', Réunion des Musées Nationaux-Grand Palais )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bull's Head」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
