Ever since his first stay in Vallauris, also known as "the town of a hundred potters", Pablo Picasso has been dazzled by the freedom and expressive nature of ceramics. To satisfy his creative curiosity, the artist embarked on a collaboration with the Ramié couple, who founded the Madoura studio in 1947. It was around the exploration of a new material that the painter transcribed his iconic subjects, building a marvellous universe filled with forms and textures. What Picasso expresses in his ceramic works is a fundamentally living testimony a fundamentally living testimony, an ongoing conversation, requiring a contribution of those who, with him, attempt to penetrate the creative essence alongside the analysis of form.
