Pablo Picasso Visage Sur Carton Ondulé (Face on corrugated cardboard), 1956

Utilizing the simplistic design motifs frequently found in his ceramics, Picasso creates an exquisite dish that plays with our notion of what is functional and what is art. Dynamic in design, this remarkable work speaks to Picasso's creativity. Using imprints of corrugated cardboard give a depth to the face which is marked by impressions of the eyes and nose. Framed in a checkered square, Picasso once again exemplifies his talent at conveying human expression.

Created in 1956, this round dish 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.
