Visage Brun-Bleu (Brown Blue Face), 1947
Endlessly fascinated with the human face, Picasso created a range of ceramics that address this subject. Here we witness one of Picasso's more charismatic examples, as a jolly man is portrayed with gazing eyes and a half smile that draw you into him. 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 1947, this white earthenware clay rectangular dish is with decoration in engobes under glaze (blue, brown, black, white) is from the edition of 200. Featured on the verso are the inscribed stamps 'Madoura Plein Feu' and 'Edition Picasso' .
