Slide 1

Bull's Head is a found object artwork by Pablo Picasso, created in 1942 from seat and handlebars of a
bicycle. It is described as Picasso's most famous discovery, a simple yet "astonishingly complete"
metamorphosis.

Slide 2

What do you see when you look at this sculpture? (about creation)

Is it a bull with horns?

– or is it an old, rusty bicycle seat and some handlebars?

Picasso was walking home one day and saw a bicycle seat and handlebars lying on the side of the road.
The second he saw them he knew what to do. He took them home, stuck them together, and created
this sculpture of a bull!

But he still wanted you to recognize the bicycle parts.

Picasso liked giving your imagination a workout. Is it a bull or a bicycle? Or both!

You decide!
