Artist: Picasso, Pablo (1881 - 1973) Title: Red Earthenware/Terracotta Tile Medium: Red earthenware clay tile Image Size: 5 15/16 in x 5 15/16 in (15 cm x 15cm) Signature: Features the inscribed stamps: 'Poinçon Originale de Picasso' d 'Madoura Plein Feu.' Edition: Artist's proof, from an edition of 500. Condition: Beautiful work from the limited edition of stamped tiles; in pristine condition. Description: Sleek and minimal in form, this red, earthenware clay tile exhibits the unique, expressive style of Pablo Picasso. This work, though simple in form, is meticulously detailed. The lines used to convey these figures are recessed slightly into the bed of the tile, allowing for inherent shadows and lowlights to cast across the work; this makes way for a curious effect, breathing life into these whimsical characters.Created in 1971, this red, earthenware clay tile was made out of the edition of 500. Inscribed and stamped on the reverse, 'Poinçon Originale de Picasso' and 'Madoura Plein Feu.' This unique piece, rather than carrying a number from the series, carries the inscription 'Examplaire Editeur' indicating that it is an even rarer artist's proof, made for Picasso's approval prior to the numbered series being produced.
