Picasso's Studio Villa La Galloise at Vallauris

This talk, with Picasso expert Marilyn McCully, will focus on Picasso’s ceramics background and his activity with the team of potters at the Madoura factory at Vallauris in France (1947-1973). With Picasso’s return to the shores of the Mediterranean after the Second World War, his work became imbued with a sense of the place and its long-standing artistic and mythological traditions.
