Pablo Picasso mounted various bizarre combinations of scrap iron junk on the wall of his sculpture studio, including this shovel with bicycle handlebars. Studio Le Fournas, Vallauris 1953.
In his studio Le Fournas in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso mounted this assemblage of scrap iron on a rough plaster wall. The stylized, bull-like figure is fashioned from found objects: a weathered shovel blade forms the head, while bicycle handlebars serve as horns. Below, a triangular frame of metal rods tapers down to a single spoked wheel. The sculpture is positioned above a cluttered shelf laden with the tools and materials of the workshop.
