Pablo Picasso Clock with Tongue, 1956
Endlessly fascinated with the face, Picasso created a range of ceramics that address this subject. Here we witness one of Picasso's more charismatic examples, as a mischievous character sticks its tongue out of us in playfulness. Deceptively simple, this work conveys a clear sense of expression with minimal detail, exemplifying Picasso's immense skill at depicting more with less.
Created in 1956, this original 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.
