Pablo Picasso Chouette (Wood-Owl), 1969

Truly captivating, the presence of this ceramic owl is substantiated by a fierce gaze sent from piercing black eyes. Further adding to the character, ruffled feathers hint of an adventurous past. Painterly brush strokes are expressively strewn across the body that wonderfully accentuate the bulbous curves of the vase and denote a corporeal form. With a limited color palette, this stunning work lets Picasso's artistic handling shine through.

Created in 1969, this white earthenware ceramic vase, partially engraved, with brown, black and white engobe and glaze. From the edition of 500, this work is inscribed 'MADOURA EDITION PICASSO' and stamped with the 'MADOURA PLEIN FEU' and 'EDITION PICASSO' pottery stamps on the bottom.
