MoMA currently has a show, Picasso Sculpture, that features the artist’s sculptural work. Picasso was a trained painter, but took a much more free spirited approach with his sculptures. He was personally invested in much of his sculpture and took an experimental approach. He used materials in unconventional ways and created unique forms reminiscent of Picasso’s cubic paintings.
