This exhibition delves into the extraordinary ceramic works of Pablo Picasso, created during his time at the Madoura workshop in Vallauris, France. Renowned primarily for his groundbreaking contributions to painting and sculpture, Picasso’s foray into ceramics represents a lesser-known yet equally significant aspect of his artistic legacy.
In 1946, Picasso discovered Madoura, a pottery studio that would become his creative sanctuary. At a time when he was seeking new forms of expression, the tactile medium of clay provided him with a fresh canvas. This period marked a transformative chapter in Picasso's career, where he translated his innovative artistic vision into functional art.
The exhibition showcases a curated selection of works, highlighting Picasso’s unique approach to ceramics. His work at Madoura is characterized by playful forms, vibrant glazes, and whimsical motifs that reflect his fascination with nature, mythology, and the human experience. From hand-painted plates to sculptural vases, each piece embodies Picasso's relentless experimentation and profound artistic intuition.
