After Picasso - welded steel sculpture by Trace Meek

After Picasso

2003, welded steel bicycle seat and handle bars, silver paint

The title of this one pretty much sums it up: it is inspired by Picasso’s original 1943 sculpture “Bull’s Head.” Imitation is flattery; yeah, I like Picasso.

In a moment of Duchampian whimsy (such as sometimes characterizes my work) I “signed” the piece “Picasso” in a baseball jerseyesque script.
