August 1-7 marked 18th annual celebration of World Breastfeeding Week. Contemporary art inspiration surely ensues...
'A bronze statue of Angelina Jolie breastfeeding two babies is to be unveiled in Oklahoma City.
The sculpture – titled Landmark For Breastfeeding – was created by artist Daniel Edwards and will be unveiled on September 11 at MainSite, a contemporary art gallery. An official copy of the sculpture is expected to be auctioned by Sotheby’s on October 6 for the New York Academy of Art’s annual Take Home A Nude art auction.
“Landmark for Breastfeeding” was inspired by last year’s cover of W magazine featuring Angelina Jolie feeding her new babies.'
Intrigued by Edwards' inspirations, I decided to do a little research.
Daniel Edwards is a contemporary, American sculptor, who is known for his controversial, pop-culture-inspired pieces. This Jolie sculpture took him 3 years to complete. His other works include:
"Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston" - a sculpture symbolic of Britney Spears' decision to put her career on hold and have kids...
... you can search the 360° on this one.
"Paris Hilton Autopsy" - A warning to underage, female prom-goers...
A few others, that I will let you search on your own, but involve other high-profile, symbolic names (Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, etc.). With ease, Edwards is able to translate his ideas of our pop culture-istic society into his sculptures and bring meaning to something so dysfunctional. What a GD genius.
