(2 x 26.5 cm)Earthenware, paintGift of Suzanne GaynG12.6.11With Personnages, Picasso used his typical wit and extraordinary graphic skill to create a figure within a face. The design is identified by Alain Ramiés (son of Madoura founders, Georges and Suzanne Ramiés) as plate #243, of which 150 works were issued. Madoura
stopped making Picasso editions in 1971. There is still a dearth of scholarship on the edition works, perhaps because Picasso rarely worked on the edition pieces himself as he gave permission to the pottery to produce his designs.Modern and Contemporary CeramicsModern and Contemporary - International[]Modern and Contemporary CeramicsSpanish1823134236SpanishInscribed on back with black glaze: "No. 28 Edition Picasso 18/150 Madoura"
