- Extremely elegant, almost symmetrical ceramic. - Even though Picasso only picked up pottery late in life, he created an extensive and diverse body of work in Vallauris in the south of France from 1946/47 onwards. - These works repeatedly reveal the great inventiveness of arguably the most famous artist of the 20th century.
