Historical Description

Pablo Picasso Dancers, 1956

Featuring a stunning variant of movement and form, Pablo Picasso has transformed the art of the textured surface of this ceramic plate by depicting a series of four dancing characters. Achieving a lightness of body and spirit, these four dancers appear to float across the composition. This wonderful work relays a sense of unity and joy, as the figures clasp hands, engaging in a moment of carefree fancy.

Created in 1956, this convex wall plaque 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.
