Known as a printmaker and painter, this sculpture by German-born Gustave Baumann is an anomaly within his body of work. It was originally made for a show at the New Mexico Museum of Art called No Sabe [Savvy] Arte, which was making fun of the Modern art trends of the 1950s. Therefore, this work is supposed to look silly and unusual, yet it still displays a masterful use of negative space.
