The Artwork’s title and subject directly reference Henri Matisse’s “The Young Sailor” (1906) and Pablo Picasso’s “The Sailor” (1943).
It is from a series of 18 portraits George Condo painted in 2012 titled “Toy Heads.” The series replaces the faces of characters like Iron Man, Mike Kelly, and in this instance Picasso, with Cubist geometric motifs.
