Daniel Edwards is the artist behind these bizarre pop culture sculptures--and he just released photographs of his latest work: a bronze nude Angelina Jolie breast-feeding her twins, Vivienne and Knox.
The statue demonstrates the "football-hold," a technique for nursing two babies simultaneously.
The inspiration for the statue came from Jolie's 2008 W Magazine cover photo that her partner, Brad Pitt, took of her breastfeeding a child. The New York artist was touched by the cover and wanted to create a sculpture that encouraged mothers to nurse. News of the art piece was released on Tuesday, in the midst of World Breastfeeding Week.
Titled "Landmark For Breastfeeding," the statue will be unveiled on September 11 at Mainsite, a contemporary art gallery, in Norman Okla., near Brad Pitt's birthplace. A cast 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, after being displayed at Holster Projects in London's West End.
Interesting LOL...
