Picasso uses the stunning and smooth surface as his canvas, and only texture as his paint in Pablo Picasso Face, 1963. A smiling face emerges as the texture changes, becomes jagged and layered, and raised ridges become expressive, descriptive gestures of his face above the seamless clay. Tending to your senses both in emotional and tactile feelings, this striking work charms and entrances any viewer.

Created in 1963, this round plate of red 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.
