2001-05-19 until 2001-08-26
Everson Musuem of Art
Syracuse, NY, USA

This exhibition comes from the Bernie Bercuson Collection of Picasso Ceramics at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale. The collection contains pieces ranging from 1947 to 1971, the entire period of Picasso’s involvement with ceramics, showing his development within the medium.

Over 50 ceramic objects in the exhibit—including pitchers, platters, plaques, and vases—demonstrate Picasso’s use of designs and themes from other cultures such as primitive, tribal-like depictions of animals and figures, as well as those from his own Spanish heritage. Picasso wanted to succeed in creating a truly popular art of complete artistic integrity through the widespread diffusion of high-quality work.
