Historical Description
Pablo Picasso Face No. 144, 1963, AR. 480
Utilizing simple, geometric forms and a vibrant color palette, Picasso adds a sense of liveliness and expression to this exquisite piece. The sentiment is one of wide-eyed wonderment and joy, for the abstract figure opens his eyes and subtly smiles out at the viewer. Soft turquoises, greens, and blues contrast with mustard yellows and bold blacks while leaf-like strokes around the border add a final, decorative touch to this well-balanced, circular composition.
Created in 1963, this original round plate is made of white earthenware clay with decoration in engobes and enamel (blue, green, yellow, black) under glaze. Hand-numbered and inscribed in black (under brushed glaze), 'No. 144 | EDITION PICASSO | 99/150 | MADOURA'on the verso. This work is from the total edition of 150.
