Lot Essay

“Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions” –Pablo Picasso
One of the most varied surfaces from throughout Picasso’s ceramic oeuvre, this work employs outstanding, colorful decoration and mark-making to the surface, articulating a bearded figure with large, bright eyes and a long, strident nose. This example was conceived at the peak of Picasso’s understanding of the medium after much experimentation and is in the finest condition.
