Pablo Picasso Face, 1968-69 is a whimsical portrait in vivid colors. Appealing to our response to color, texture, depth, and space, this work captivates the eye and beckons you to glance at the details. There is a wonderful interplay between line and circle, as these lines and circular forms converge to create a charming face with round blue eyes and an X-shaped mask across the center. Areas of the piece have a glossy clear glaze that hi-lights the bright colors and deep, rich earth tones.
Created in 1968-1969, this madoura square plaque of red earthenware clay, engobe ground, engraving enhanced with oxides (white, blue, yellow, green, black) under partial brushed glaze is from the numbered edition of 100 in black ink on verso.
