This exhibition examines Pablo Picasso’s revolutionary Vallauris period (1946–early 1970s), when the village on the Côte d’Azur became the epicentre of his late-career experimentation. Working daily between the Madoura pottery workshop and the Arnéra printing atelier, Picasso transformed ceramics, colour linocuts and related graphic disciplines into new arenas of modernist invention. The presentation interweaves these Vallauris-born bodies of work with carefully selected pieces from earlier and contemporaneous series, such as the Suite Vollard, drawings, prints and tapestries, to reveal the extraordinary continuity of his iconographic and technical obsessions across three decades.
