Picasso, who excels in drawings and paintings of fauna heads, takes up here one of his favourite themes to transpose it onto clay and allow another dimension. The duality of black and white increases the mysterious and questioning character of the drawing. Picasso plays here with the material and creates a new form of ceramics.
