Pablo Picasso Face, 1960
This vibrantly colored round dish contrasts black and ivory tones against yellow, blue, and brown hues to convey an intriguing and expressive face. Picasso creates a somewhat androgynous face with long nose and bushy eyebrows. This figure smiles out at us with bright yellow cheeks, emanating a sense of joy and playfulness.
Created in 1960, this round dish of white earthenware clay with decoration in engobes (ivory, yellow, blue, brown, mat black) under partial brushed glaze 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.
