// Nelson Leirner's Cartas a...3 (2012) is a limited edition mixed media print that playfully critiques iconic art and the act of appropriation. The piece features a bold, black-and-white depiction of Picasso's famous bull and horse from Guernica, but with a satirical twist. Leirner has altered the figures, morphing them into a cartoonish and exaggerated style, creating a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on the reverence of classic art. The composition is framed with a black-and-white striped border, adding a pop-art feel that enhances its irony. A small image of the original Picasso artwork is included in the top right corner, juxtaposing the original with Leirner's reinterpretation. This artwork challenges notions of artistic ownership, legacy, and reinterpretation in contemporary culture.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art.
