Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts
Montgomery, AL, USA

This exhibition presents an outstanding selection of the beautiful limited-edition ceramics created by the twentieth-centurys greatest multi-dimensional talent, Pablo Picasso. In August of 1947, Picasso was already a world-famous artist when he began working at the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, France, in the workshop of George Ramie.

In the nineteenth century, Vallauris had been a center of ceramics production, however it had been in decline since World War I. Picassos interest led to its revitalization and he produced over 600 editions in Vallauris until 1971. Sixty ceramic works-dishes, plates, bowls, vases, vessels, pitchers and plaques-comprise this exceptional collection. Visitors to this exhibition will have the opportunity to appreciate a distinctive body of work by one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the twentieth century.
