Round Dish - White earthenware clay, engobe decoration under brushed glaze, ivory, blue - Diameter 16 3/4 inches / 42.5 cm // Pablo Picasso’s Tormented Faun’s Face (1956) is a round dish made of white earthenware clay, with a diameter of 42.5 cm. The surface of the dish features an expressive depiction of a faun’s face, rendered in deep blue lines and shapes that create a sense of texture and movement. The faun’s exaggerated features—large eyes, wide nose, and stylized facial expressions—are engraved into the clay and highlighted with a brushed glaze. The ivory and blue color palette gives the piece a striking contrast, while the textured edges of the dish add to its dynamic feel. This piece reflects Picasso's ability to blend mythological themes with his distinctive, modern style in ceramics.

What is Cubism?
Artwork by Fernand Léger

What is Cubism?

Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
