I have one word for Rosso's sculptures: overwhelming. I had never seen such pieces of art and, in fact, I had never imagine that such abstract and grotesque figures could exist. Both 'Maternity' and 'The Golden Age' are astonishing, confusing, and alarming. Are those babies suffering or just being like any other crying baby? Are their mothers loving them? These sculpture leave a lot of unanswered questions.
Here are other two astonishing, confusing, and alarming sculptures of Medardo Rosso:
