About the Item

Created in 1956, this Madoura small convex wall plaque of white earthenware clay with engraving accentuated with oxidized paraffin in a glaze bath (ivory, brown) is from the edition of 500. This work is stamped with the ‘MADOURA PLEIN FEU’ and ‘EMPREINTE ORIGINALE DE PICASSO’ pottery stamps on the verso. Pablo Picasso Trois Personnages sur Tremplin (Three Figures on a Trampoline), 1956 A.R. 375 is a delightfully simple composition that is nevertheless remarkably visually balanced and rich in narrative. Three figures, suggested skillfully through just a few strong lines, stand on a trampoline. Each one holds a different pose, as if at different stages of leaping into the air. On the left, a figure prepares to jump, strength harnessed in quick parallel lines of body and legs. In the middle, a figure bristles with movement and energy, as if resonating with the vibration of a fresh jump. The figure on the right stretches easily up in the air, reaching up to the sky; the bold strokes of the two arms on the upper right dynamically echo the two legs of the trampoline on the lower left. The image is filled with fluid energy, the economy of line highlighting the sense of action and movement. Picasso is renowned for his mastery of virtually every medium he took interest in, and his Madoura ceramics wonderfully exemplify his skill. This visually rhythmic piece is as playful as it is beautiful, the decadent dark engravings standing out against an exquisite ivory background.

Danseurs et Joueur de Diaule (Dancers and Diaulos Player), 1956
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Palo Alto, CA
Danseurs et Joueur de Diaule (Dancers and Diaulos Player), A.R. 341 can be compared to several other white earthenware pieces created by Picasso in 1956. Each depicts the carefree imagery of dancers, musicians, and fauns to which the artist returns time and again. Framed under a sloping mountain, two figures dance with arms raised above their heads, hands clasped in a spontaneous gesture. Leafy trees and flowers mark...

Paseo, from Service Scènes de Corrida, A.R. 416
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Palo Alto, CA
Created in 1959, Pablo Picasso (Málaga, 1881 – Mougins, 1973) Paseo A.R. 416 is numbered from the edition of 50 on the reverse and stamped with the 'MADOURA PLEIN FEU' and ‘EMPREINTE ORIGINALE DE PICASSO' pottery stamps on the reverse. Pablo Picasso was an avid fan of bullfighting his entire life, attending his first corridas when he was a child in Spain and gaining a renewed interest in the events when he settled in the South of France after World War II. Undoubtedly the theatrical drama and flashy machismo of the matadors appealed greatly to Picasso's sensibilities and resonated with his Spanish roots. In 1959, Picasso produced an 8-piece plate series, each featuring a different bullfighting scene suggested through lively stipple lines. Paseo A.R. 416 depicts a line of bullfighters highlighted by a streak of yellow. The strokes of blue above and below the figures contrast with the warm of the yellow, creating visual tension that anticipates the drama of the fight. Catalogue Raisonné & COA: Pablo Picasso Paseo...

The dark atmosphere created by the deep blue, black, and touch of brown is slashed by the intense yellow down the center of the plate. This shock of bright color evokes the excitement of the bullfighter as he stands triumphant over the bull. Catalogue Raisonné & COA: Pablo Picasso Paseo...
