About the Item

Pablo Picasso Ronde au Soleil (Sun Circle), 1961 comes alive as the figures frolic happily in a circle, reminiscent of the “Sardana,” a traditional Catalonian dance that appears in Picasso’s body of work. Some figures clutch flowers in their hands, other hold hands, signifying the strong bonds that can exist between people, and many also throw their hands over their heads with joy. Flowers fill the center of the circle as well, as if those dancing have been tossing them into the middle. None of the people are detailed with any facial features, but Picasso has done an inspiring job of bringing intense feeling through simple lines. The dancers abound with feeling, from their joyfully moving feet, to their hands opened wide towards the sky. Above the circle of youths is a glowing yellow sun, emblazoned with the outline of a white dove. The dove as a symbol of peace was created as a political symbol by Picasso that has been “adopted by campaigners for peace, liberation, and equality around the globe” (Morris, Lynda Christoph Grunenberg. Picasso: Peace and Freedom. London: Tate Publishing, 2010). Here, the dove encapsulates the feeling of the dancers – both the hope that bursts forth from them, and also the freedom that the hope implies.
