About Picasso Ceramics:

In the summer of 1946, Pablo Picasso began a sustained and experimental engagement with ceramics at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris, France. Working in close collaboration with Georges and Suzanne Ramié, he explored the expressive potential of clay with the same inventive spirit that defined his work in painting and sculpture.

Over the next 25 years, Picasso created nearly 4,000 ceramic pieces—reimagining classical forms through modern means. Birds, fish, fauns, goats, faces, and figures appear throughout the work, drawing from Mediterranean mythology and daily life alike.

From these creations, Picasso and Madoura selected 633 designs to produce as editioned works, each authorized by the artist and issued in limited runs of 25 to 500 editions.

Jeans Gallery presents a focused selection of these ceramics, emphasizing authenticity, material ingenuity, and Picasso’s lasting impact on the medium.
