About the Artist: In 1946, while visiting the annual pottery exhibition in Vallauris, France, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) had the good fortune to meet Suzanne and Georges Ramie. The Ramies owned the Madoura workshop, a ceramics studio in Vallauris, where Picasso, who was eager to delve into a new medium, made his first venture into ceramics. He became so enthralled with this medium that he decided to move to Vallauris to pursue his new passion. Picasso was an iconic and important figure in the town’s history. He became a freeman of Vallauris and greatly contributed to the renaissance of its pottery industry in the 1950s.
