tist to create an important ceramic work in the 20th century. After he setteles down permanently in the South of France in 1947, Picasso meets and starts collaborating with Suzanne Ramié of the Madoura Studio in Vallauris. Their collaboration will span almost 25 years, up until Picasso's death. Afterwards, artists such as Juan Miro, Marc Chagall or Victor Brauner will follow suit with their own ceramic productions in Vallauris.
In the vein of Picasso's anthropomorphic ceramics, marrying form and function, the artist uses the form of the vase to create the female face.
