About the Item

Tête Solaire, Pablo Picasso, Unique Ceramic, 1950's, Earthenware, Design, Tile Tête solaire II Unique work 27.01.1956 Large white earthenware tile, green stripes on white enamel on a mat gray background 20.5 x 20.5 cm / 7.9 x 7.9 in. Dated and numbered on the reverse: 27.1.56, II Certificate of authenticity delivered by Claude Ruiz Picasso, dated June 8th, 2020. Provenance : Estate of Pablo Picasso Collection of Marina Picasso (acquired from above) Collection privée, Switzerland In 1956, Pablo Picasso produced several ceramics, such as the presented unique ceramic « Tête solaire II », in collaboration with the Madoura workshop in Vallauris, based in the Alpes Maritimes where he lived between 1848 and 1955. His naivety inspires joy and shows Picasso's attraction for sun and face subjects. Through his work, the artist highlights his interest in abstractions, geometry as well as colors. This rustic piece is reminiscent of Picasso's interest in ethnography and the use of the ceramic as a principal medium in his creations. The artist appreciates the range of possibilities offered by the ceramic, allowing him to play with the texture, depth, colors, and baking.

These forms come to me on walks, while I work in my garden, or appear as gifts from friends who share my fascination with the beauty inherent in Nature’s abundant variety of forms. It is often the metamorphosis of nature’s forms, as they change from season to season, that attracts me. I am endlessly drawn to that universal world in which differing life forms share similar qualities. I spend countless hours contemplating a particular form in order to feel its energy. It becomes a Zen-like connection not unlike a meditation. As an artist, I hope that those who choose to connect with my work can share some of the harmony and tranquility I feel through the creative process. Perhaps, at the very least, the viewer will give those small, often unnoticed forms in Nature a second glance. Alice R. Ballard. (born June 16, 1945, Florence, South Carolina) is an American ceramicist based in Greenville, South Carolina.
