After meeting Suzanne und Georges Ramié, the owners of the Atelier Madoura in Vallauris 1946, Picasso produced an immense repertoire of unique ceramics for over 20 years. The plasticity and originality of the material inspired the master to new forms of expression, often coupled with his preference for animal depictions and mythical characters.
