Lot Essay
Vase deux anses hautes is an example of Picasso taking the relatively standard shapes of the ceramics produced in Vallauris and using them to great effect. In this work, Picasso has used a traditional vase shape, dating back to Classical times. The handles extend out from the body of the vase to create the arms of a figure. The curvature of the top of the vase is painted with a figure's face. Simple feet have been painted on the base. In between, the curvature of the central body of the vase has been decorated playfully to suggest hands, legs and clothing. Like many of Picasso's ceramic works, the artist's approach is simple and yet highly effective.
