This is a photo of the sculpture Personnage by surrealist artist Joan Miró (1893-1983). Miró was born in Barcelona, Spain and like Picasso, mastered multiple genres of art, including: painting, sculpture, ceramics, murals, printmaking, costume design and poetry.
Personnage is considered one of Miro's greatest artistic achievements:
"Personnage, a potent but whimsical Neolithic god, with its massive head, bold protusion in the lower belly organ and curvilinear striations mapping the figure’s sexual organs, illustrates Miró’s metamorphic understanding of what he termed humankind’s ‘true reality.’" - Christies
