Historical Description

Pablo Picasso Sculpteur Avec Son Modele, Sa Sculpture Et Un Bol D'Anemones (Sculptor with His Model, His Sculpture, and a Bowl of Anemones) from the Vollard Suite, 1933 is a delightful composition of curved lines and precise detail. At the right, a large sculpted head stands on a pedestal, its head crowned with a delicate vine of leaves which curves down toward the ground. At the left,  a sculptor and his model regard the head, their Grecian profiles echoing the form of the sculpture. Both figures are crowned with blooming wreaths and are arranged in such a manner that emphasizes the intimacy of the scene. Herbaceous motifs flood the composition in delicate detail; illustrations of blossoms decorate the tiles on which the figures are placed, and sinuous vines meander the work to create a truly ethereal scene.
