1948 Collotype print after Pablo Picasso, Ceramic art, framed, mid century

After Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), Céramiques de Picasso – Visage Noir, 1948 — vintage oval shaped colour collotype reproduction of a Picasso ceramic, mounted on lithographically decorated paper and presented under glass in a substantial period timber frame.
A striking mid-century image centred on Picasso’s highly recognisable mask-like face motif, combining deep black, burnt orange and chalky white with the irregular, tactile character of his celebrated Vallauris ceramics.

Artist bio: Pablo Picasso was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, printmaker and ceramicist whose extraordinary career made him one of the defining figures of twentieth-century art. After visiting the Madoura pottery workshop at Vallauris in southern France, Picasso became intensely involved with ceramics from the late 1940s, transforming traditional plates, vessels and bowls through painted, incised and sculptural imagery.
