Picasso’s passion for portraiture extended to the colorful ceramics he designed at the Madoura Pottery. Having mastered the human form on paper and canvas, the artist eventually sought a greater challenge in clay. This 1969 pitcher Visage au nez noir is an especially expressive vessel, decorated with mesmerizing swathes of colour and finely incised lines that render a bright-eyed and cheerful face.
