Description:
|
This tripod vase is an example of Picasso's work at the Madoura studio in Vallauris. Created in 1950 by ceramicist Suzanne Ramié, co-founder of the studio; Picasso painted its decoration the following year. While Suzanne Ramié opted for white in order to tone down the anthropomorphic appearance of the incised piece, Picasso chose to emphasize it by giving it the look of a woman leaning on her elbows and holding her head in her hands. The vase was produced in an edition of seventy-five. (Source: Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; http://www.mmfa.qc.ca/)
