At least that is the title that Roman gives this sculpture as he sits on the arm of my chair as I upload this. I mean Picasso, what does he know? Baboon and Young (La guenon et son petit) - where's the panache in that? ;)
We visited the Minneapolis Institute of Arts briefly yesterday after a visit to the Children's Theater.
We made our way to the modern art section, a little more accessible for young minds. R and Z remembered the big white dog from our last visit, so that was our goal. Along the way we found other things (Mr. Lincolnton, for example), but also this guy. Robot Monkey. I passed right by, but Dad asked if we'd seen the monkey made out of car parts. That call all our attention. So back we went. Wow. Pretty cool .
Dad provided the opportunity for a closer look.
A head made out of a car (or two, to be precise).
Prior to our art appreciation time, we went to the Children's Theater to see a very cool production of the Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar
It was less than an hour long, but based on Zoe's reluctance to even be there, it was a good introduction to a live production. And once it started, both were fine.
