About the Artist: Robert Perot (1931-2003) was a French sculptor and ceramicist. In 1954 he moved to Vallauris in the south of France and set up the Vieux Moulin pottery studio which continued until the 1970s. After that period he moved away and focused on sculpture. Vallauris became famous as a pottery town after Picasso moved there to take up ceramic design in 1948. Other leading potters like Roger Capron and Robert Picault moved there as an art pottery community developed around Picasso. Perot exhibited his work alongside Picasso and these other artists during the 1950s.
