Artist: Pablo Picasso Title: Trois Personages Sur Tremplin (Three People on a Trampoline), AR 374 Medium: Partially Glazed Ceramic Size: 7 5/8 inches× 7 5/8 inches Edition: xxx/500 Year: 1956 In this 1956 ceramic piece, Picasso masterfully captures the essence of movement and joy with "Three People on a Trampoline." Despite its simplicity, the composition is visually captivating and balanced. Three figures, depicted with minimal yet expressive lines, stand on the trampoline. One figure appears ready to leap, while another exudes energy mid-jump. The third figure stretches gracefully, their arms echoing the trampoline's curves. The piece pulsates with dynamic energy, showcasing Picasso's skill in conveying action with minimalistic lines. Picasso's ceramic works, like this one, exemplify his mastery of various mediums. The dark engravings on the ivory background create a visually rhythmic and playful effect. This small convex wall plaque, created in an edition of 500, is a testament to Picasso's artistic versatility and creativity. Stamped with 'MADOURA PLEIN FEU' and 'EMPREINTE ORIGINALE DE PICASSO' on the verso, this piece is fully documented and referenced in catalogue raisonnés and texts, including Alain Ramié's "Picasso Catalogue of the edited ceramic works 1947-1971" (Madoura, 1988), listed and illustrated as catalogue raisonné no. 374.
