Description
Picasso's relentless creative impulses are perhaps nowhere better exhibited than in his work with ceramics. Picasso's approach to ceramics was characterised by a remarkable sense of freedom and innovation. Around 1955, Picasso began working with industrial tiles and studying the large and impressive collection of Spanish ceramics at the Palais Miramar in Cannes. The present work reveals the revolutionary influence of his first hand inspection of the collection, displaying the Islamic roots of Spanish ceramics and the stirred sense of identity with the artistic ceramic traditions of his native country.
