| Descripción Histórica: | |
| This woman with a crown of flowers is a stunning example of Picasso's mastery
of abstraction. Her heart-shaped face intrigues the viewer as it simultaneously
appears to depict a woman's face in a frontal as well as two profile views.
Her long, wavy hair rests at her shoulders while, upon her head she dons a crown
of flowers. Like a linocut, the image in this clay plaque is achieved through
a deductive process. This means that the image is created from what is left
over after portions of the surface are removed. When ink is applied to the surface,
it attaches only to the remaining surface level areas, and not to the incised
areas-and a beautiful image of a woman emerges from the clay. The printing process
in this instance is done with a black engobe pad. Engobe decoration is a highly
technical and specialized process where the artist mixes a liquid clay substance
and applies it directly to the clay surface. Because the color is actually in
the liquid clay, the color remains fresh and richly saturated throughout the
life of the piece. This delicate artisan process is best appreciated in person,
as the patient and skillful hand of the artist is best visible. Due to the large
scale of the work, these fine details can be even better enjoyed.
Created in 1964, this original Madoura rectangular plaque is made of red earthenware clay, printed with engobe pad in black. This work is inscribed with the 'Empreinte originale de Picasso' and 'Madoura Plein Feu' stamps on the reverse; numbered 75/100 (from the total edition of 100) on the reverse.

Pablo Picasso biografía
Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
"Yet Cubism and Modern art weren't either scientific or intellectual; they were visual and came from the eye and mind of one of the greatest geniuses in art history. Pablo Picasso, born in Spain, was a child prodigy who was recognized as such by his art-teacher father, who ably led him along. The small Museo de Picasso in Barcelona is devoted primarily to his early works, which include strikingly realistic renderings of casts of ancient sculpture.
"He was a rebel from the start and, as a teenager, began to frequent the Barcelona cafes where intellectuals gathered. He soon went to Paris, the capital of art, and soaked up the works of Manet, Gustave Courbet, and Toulouse-Lautrec, whose sketchy style impressed him greatly. Then it was back to Spain, a return to France, and again back to Spain - all in the years 1899 to 1904.
"Before he struck upon Cubism, Picasso went through a prodigious number of styles - realism, caricature, the Blue Period, and the Rose Period. The Blue Period dates from 1901 to 1904 and is characterized by a predominantly blue palette and subjects focusing on outcasts, beggars, and prostitutes. This was when he also produced his first sculptures. The most poignant work of the style is in Cleveland's Museum of Art, La Vie (1903), which was created in memory of a great childhood friend, the Spanish poet Casagemas, who had committed suicide. The painting started as a self-portrait, but Picasso's features became those of his lost friend. The composition is stilted, the space compressed, the gestures stiff, and the tones predominantly blue. Another outstanding Blue Period work, of 1903, is in the Metropolitan, The Blind Man's Meal. Yet another example, perhaps the most lyrical and mysterious ever, is in the Toledo Museum of Art, the haunting Woman with a Crow (1903).
"The Rose Period began around 1904 when Picasso's palette brightened, the paintings dominated by pinks and beiges, light blues, and roses. His subjects are saltimbanques (circus people), harlequins, and clowns, all of whom seem to be mute and strangely inactive. One of the premier works of this period is in Washington, D.C., the National Gallery's large and extremely beautiful Family of Saltimbanques dating to 1905, which portrays a group of circus workers who appear alienated and incapable of communicating with each other, set in a one-dimensional space.
"In 1905, Picasso went briefly to Holland, and on his return to Paris, his works took on a classical aura with large male and fernale figures seen frontally or in distinct profile, almost like early Greek art. One of the best of these of 1906 is in the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, NY, La Toilette. Several pieces in this new style were purchased by Gertrude (the art patron and writer) and her brother, Leo Stein.
Picasso enjoyed creating his art on many media. From paintings to etchings to ceramics, all of his works are a testament to his skills. There are even Picasso prints that are worth more than unique original works.
