Three graceful dancers leap from the surface, exuding joy and energy in this fantastic ceramic piece. Created in 1957, this ceramic oval dish was created from white earthenware clay with matte black and red engobe decoration, and a beautiful glossy white glaze. Stamped on the reverse, 'Edition Picasso' and 'Madoura plein feu', there is a written notation as well, 'Edition Picasso Madoura' in black. This work is from the edition of 400. The date is also inscribed on the front, '1.8.57'. Composed of largely matte black and red engobe decoration, Picasso includes a brilliant high gloss white on the subtle detailing of the figures and outer rim area of the platter. This textural suability adds a burst of compositional interest and an overall sense of joy to the piece. Titled Dancing, the work exudes a wonderful sense of happiness and delight, as the sinewy dancers leap from the surface of the ceramic, generating an innate sense of energy that is simply magnetic. This is a marvelous piece in wonderful condition-an absolute necessity to any serious ceramic or Picasso collection.
