One of the things I have long wanted to see is Picasso's Goat in person.(Second floor, right off the elevator in the Picasso museum in Paris) I have used this as an example in teaching art to Elementary School children. I first saw it in a slide in Art Appreciation as a Freshman in College. This along with Guernica in the Prado in Madrid became a must do. I have done. Here is the Goat, Guernica was not available for me to photograph. (Tough looking guards.)
What I say about this found object sculpture is that "Picasso's Goat looks more like a goat, than a goat looks like a goat." Some kids pick up on that immediately.
