A.R. 38 – Visage Noir, plate C, is a playful ceramic work by Pablo Picasso, exemplifying his bold, graphic approach to facial imagery and form. The smiling black visage, defined by confident lines and stark contrast against a dark background, reflects Picasso’s fascination with masks, ancient motifs, and emotional abstraction. Both visually arresting and sculptural in presence, this piece represents an important example of Picasso’s renowned ceramic production and holds strong appeal for serious collectors.
Picasso’s collaboration with the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, France marked a transformative period in his career, during which he reinvented ceramic art by combining traditional pottery techniques with his bold, innovative visual language.
Acquired via online auction from a Las Vegas private collection by Artemis collection.
