Pablo Picasso Big Fish, 1956
This particular work stands out amidst Picasso's other fish ceramics due to its delightful, textural quality achieved through relief and the beautiful, monochromatic white hue of the dish. The two fish, central to this marvelous work, swim side by side, their figures conveyed through Picasso's raised lines. This is a delicate and whimsical work; the concave nature of its medium serves to complement the two swimming fish.
Created in 1956, this round dish 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.
