Considered the most important artist of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso began exploring ceramics in 1947 after visiting Vallauris on the Côte d'Azur. Over the years, he created jugs, plates, bowls, and much more, often inspired by the forms and motifs of ceramic objects from ancient Mediterranean cultures. These pieces were not merely a by-product of his artistic activity, but rather a means of expressing his creativity more fully and are fundamental to understanding his oeuvre as a whole.
Also on display are rare ceramics by the French artist Jean Cocteau (1889–1963), the multi-talented Frenchman who influenced entire generations as a writer, director, and painter.
The exhibition is complemented by ceramics by Georges Braque and rare ceramics by German artist A. R. Penck.
Also on display is an exquisite work by artist Gao Zhenyu (born 1964) from China, a country that has been dedicated to this material for centuries with the highest quality.
The exhibition comprises approximately 30 exhibits.
