The bird on this plate bears striking resemblance to “La Paloma” which means both “pigeon” and “dove” in Spanish and was a motif widely explored in Picasso’s work. Picasso grew up surrounded by pigeons; his father, José Ruiz Blasco, also an artist, bred pigeons, which became his favorite subject to paint. Picasso’s most famous representation of the dove is his whimsical “Dove of Peace” which was created in 1949 for the Paris Peace Conference; the model was one of Henri Matisse’s doves. In 1949 Picasso’s youngest daughter was born and given the name Paloma, highlighting the significance of these birds to the artist.
