PICASSO BY THE SEA

Picasso became inspired by the old pottery traditions on the Côte dAzur around 1945. This led to the creation of a unique series of ceramic works that brought painting and sculpture together. Picasso used warm Mediterranean colours to make sculptures with themes of animals and woman for the most part.For the first time attention has been devoted to this magical period of Picasso between 1945 and 1960, in this richly illustrated book with texts by international experts.
