Picasso started ceramic art at the height of his painting career and created numerous artworks after being fascinated by the craftsmanship. The exhibition depicts Picasso's journey of pottery and artistic atmosphere, which blossomed in the southern French city of Valoris in 1946.
The artist was fascinated by pottery as an art that combined the sculptural properties of creating shapes from clay with the painting and painting on the pottery. Although not well known to the public, Picasso had a wide influence on the history of ceramic art.
