Historical Description

Utilizing the simplistic design motifs frequently found in his ceramics, Picasso creates an exquisite plate that plays with our notion of what is functional and what is art. Monochromatic and simplistic in design, this remarkable work says more with less. Minimal lines define the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth of this playful face, as Picasso once again exemplifies his talent at conveying human expression.

Created in 1960, this Madoura round/square plate of white earthenware clay is from the edition of 100. This work is stamped with the 'MADOURA PLEIN FEU' and 'EMPREINTE ORIGINALE DE PICASSO' pottery stamps on the reverse.
