Bio:
Pablo Picasso is known for his extensive experimentation in ceramics beginning in the late 1940s, when he worked at the Madoura Pottery studio in Vallauris, France. During this period, he produced limited ceramic editions that combined traditional forms with his signature motifs and sculptural reinterpretations. The “Femme” pitcher (A.R. 300) reflects Picasso’s approach to transforming utilitarian vessels into expressive figurative works, using hand-applied decoration, stylized profiles, and bold linework. These ceramic editions highlight his interest in translating Cubist and classical influences into three-dimensional clay forms, making the Madoura period a significant chapter in his broader artistic output.
