With a brown, yellow and ivory glow, this work creates a simplistic, yet engaging composition. Quirky line work and playful coloration entice the viewer and enhance the design elements in this work. In common cubist style works by Picasso, we are shown a compelling rendering of facial features ingeniously arranged to create this remarkable character. This work was created for the 10th Anniversary of the Vallauris Exposition.
