Pablo Picasso
Musée Municipal D’Art Moderne Céret

1958

About the Item

Signed and numbered to lower margin ‘46/125 Picasso’. This work is number 46 from the edition of 125 printed by Arnéra, Vallauris and published by Musée Municipal d'Art Moderne, Céret. Born and raised in Spain, Pablo Picasso is one of the most celebrated modern painters and sculptors in the world. In addition to co-founding the Cubist movement and inventing constructed sculpture, he also single-handedly revived the 800-year-old ceramics industry in Vallauris, France, leaving an indelible mark on 20th-century ceramics in his wake. While vacationing in Golfe-Juan in 1946, he decided to attend the annual pottery exhibition in nearby Vallauris where he was quickly drawn to the Madoura pottery stall. The owners, Suzanne and Georges Ramié, welcomed him to their workshop and he promptly modeled two works in clay. A welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Paris, Picasso returned to Vallauris a year later and was given a workshop at Madoura, thus beginning a partnership that would last nearly twenty-five years. Liberated from the confines of a flat surface, Picasso was free to explore painting and sculpture simultaneously. With the guidance of Suzanne Ramié, he worked alongside master potters and then pinching, altering, decorating, and/or reshaping unfired pieces as he saw fit. He designed over 633 originals which were then copied by Madoura artisans in editions of 25 to 500. Encompassing many of Picasso’s favorite subjects—women, faces, bullfights, and nature—his ceramics are more accessible to collectors, yet still possess all the qualities that characterize his most famous works.

  • "Rush Hour" British Modern Mid 20th Century Vorticist European Vorticism Woman
    By Sybil Andrews
    Located in New York, NY
    "Rush Hour" British Modern Mid 20th Century Vorticist European Vorticism Woman Sybil Andrews CPE (British/Canadian, 1898-1992) "Rush Hour" (Coppel SA 11) Linocut printed in Chinese orange, Chinese blue and black, 1930, on tissue thin oriental laid paper, signed, titled and numbered 8/50 in pencil lower left, framed Block 209 x 251mm (8 1/4 x 9 7/8in) Sheet 249 x 310mm (9 3/4 x 12 1/4in) Framed by Bark 14 1/2 x 16 inches BIO Sybil Andrews was a printmaker, painter, graphic artist and educator who was born in Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk, England. She moved to London (England) in 1922. In 1947, she emigrated to Campbell River (Vancouver Island) British Columbia, Canada, where she worked, taught and lived for the rest of her life. She died at a hospital in Victoria (B.C.) Her mediums were the colour linocut (1) (most famous), etching, posters, pastels, ink, watercolour, monoprint and oil. Her subjects were human activity (at work, sports, travel, etc.), figures, animals, genre, allegory, architecture and landscape. Her style was Art Deco (see AskART styles), Futurism, Cubism and Vorticism (2). Her work is identified by a simple format, clean lines, distortion, vivid colours, drama and rhythm. Quote: "The colour linocut was just the medium for me, being interested in dynamics and ideas and patterns... It is impossible to be fussy with lines, you have to simplify, you are forced to simplify your idea to its fundamentals." Andrews produced 76 linocuts in her life, of which 43 were made from 1929 to 1939, which is considered to be her best period. John Hassall's art correspondence course (1918) was the beginning of her formal art education. She went from there to Heatherley's School of Fine Art (London/1922) where she studied under Henry Massey (see AskART) and met artistic partner Cyril Power (see AskART). At the same time, she studied independently with sculptor Henri Glicenstein (see AskART) who taught her drypoint etching and to draw from life. She also attended the Grosvenor School of Modern Art (1925). Iain McNab (1890-1967) was Principal and Claude Flight (3) (see AskART) an instructor who had a great influence on her choice of linocut as a primary medium. Some of his other students and her associates were Edith Lawrence (1890-1973), Lill Tschudi (1911-2001), Eileen Mayo (see AskART) and William Greengrass...
