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.

  • Abstract Landscape India Edition 3/5 Linocut Print Nature Green Yellow Leaves
    By Mukesh Sharma
    Located in Norfolk, GB
    There is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that both depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we are offered the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. In the patterns of the arable fields to the jali's (carved screens) in the architecture. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer a visual heritage of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest. Mukesh Sharma, Untitled, Lino-cut chin- coll’e on German Ivory paper Edition: 3 of 5, 1999 Image size: 50 x 33 cm / Sheet size: 79 x 55 cm Unframed 'This work reminds me of my childhood and early youth, growing up in a village that was full of nature, surrounded by lush green. The towering Aravalli hills left a strong impression on me.' Mukesh Sharma's work: It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a rural, agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father is a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as is often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio. Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his medium of choice is printing. One of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it can often be physically challenging as well as technical and detailed. In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art-training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt...
