Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Vase Deux Anses Hautes, 1952, a white earthenware vase, painted in grey and black, from an edition of 400, impressed marks for Madoura, signed Editions Picasso, 38cm high Note: 'Vase with two high handles' was conceived as part of a series of ceramics designed by Picasso from the end of the 1940s. He worked at the Madoura works in Vallauris, southern France, run by Suzanne and Georges Ramie, and commissioned them to reproduce his designs which he formed over the subsequent 25 years. This 1952 edition represents a female figure, in Picasso's typically abstract style. The basic vase form is based on Classical examples, which Picasso reinvented using his painted design to turn the handles in to arms, the foot into feet and the neck into a head. This example hints towards Picasso's interest in tribal art and totemic figures, exemplified in his 1907 masterpiece Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, now in the MOMA, New York. Picasso's ceramic reinterpretation of the confident, nude female form, hands on hips, creates an assertive and striking composition. Note: Artist Resale Rights apply
