Pablo Picasso Woman's Face, 1968 -1969
A whimsical portrait with bold colors, this work appeals to our response to texture, depth, and space. There is a wonderful interplay between lines, as they cross and curve to create a curious face with round eyes and long nose. Despite the title, this face appears somewhat androgynous, as if it could be either male or female, contributing a further element of mystery to this intriguing piece.
Created in 1968-1969, this red earthenware clay square plaque engobe ground with engraving enhanced with oxides under partial brushed glaze (white, green, blue, yellow, black, patina) is from the edition of 100.
