Lot Essay

Conceived in 1953, is a sophisticated example of Picasso’s masterful skill in utilising the standard shape of the pitcher to explore the motif; a popular subject for the artist. This work employs mark-making to the surface creating large eyebrows and simple brushstrokes to create the eyes, nose and mouth. The piece epitomises Picasso’s playful and highly inventive approach to ceramics which lead to him being regarded in some circles not only as the greatest artist of the 20th century, but the most inventive ceramicist of the time.
