| dc.description | Looking at the sculpture from the front, head; with child; In the last decades of her career Saint Phalle devoted herself mainly to monumental sculptures, sometimes intended more directly for children. She took inspiration from the parks designed by Gaudi, to conceive both stand-alone sculptures and entire fantastic gardens (The Tarocchi Garden, begun in Tuscany in 1979 and Queen Califia's Magical Circle Garden, Escondido, 2003) full of imaginary creatures, encrusted with mosaic and color.
