The shapes and extreme colors are worthwhile motifs. The figures are well-known and easily recognized and it is street art that you can touch.

The Nanas "Sophie", "Caroline" and "Charlotte" on the Leibnizufer in Hanover.
Nanas are sculptures of the French artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002), who use the imagery of Pop Art to portray sensual, colorful, voluminous female bodies with oversized gender characteristics.

"Nana" is an ambiguous term from French for a modern, self-confident, erotic and wicked woman. Niki de Saint Phalle took the ideas of the women's movement in the mid-1960s with the slogan "All power to the nanas!". For the first time their oversized women's sculptures were exhibited in October 1965 in Paris. The life-affirming, happy, colorful, mostly dancing, often larger than life, fat "Nanas" pull themselves through their further work. 1968/69 was the Black Nana in the Wallraf Richartz Museum and 1994 in the Museum Ludwig the Nana on a dolphin. The Nanas first stand for vitality, femininity, free organization without inhibitions and conventions, they unite all women in themselves, are a comprehensive reflection of the female existence.
