In 1956, Pablo Picasso produced several ceramics, such as the presented unique ceramic « Tête solaire II », in collaboration with the Madoura workshop in Vallauris, based in the Alpes Maritimes where he lived between 1848 and 1955. His naivety inspires joy and shows Picasso's attraction for sun and face subjects. Through his work, the artist highlights his interest in abstractions, geometry as well as colors. This rustic piece is reminiscent of Picasso's interest in ethnography and the use of the ceramic as a principal medium in his creations. The artist appreciates the range of possibilities offered by the ceramic, allowing him to play with the texture, depth, colors, and baking.

Pablo Picasso
One of the most prolific and revolutionary artists the world has ever seen, Pablo Picasso had a tremendous impact on the development of 20th-century modern art. Although he is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he founded with Georges Braque, Picasso’s influence extends to Surrealism, neoclassicism and Expressionism.
“Every act of creation is, first of all, an act of destruction,” the Spanish artist proclaimed. In Picasso's Cubist paintings, he emphasizes the two-dimensionality of the canvas, breaking with conventions regarding perspective, foreshortening and proportion. Picasso was inspired by Iberian and African tribal art. One of his most famous pre-Cubist works is Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), a painting considered immoral and shocking at the time for its depiction of nude women whose faces resemble Iberian tribal masks.
Picasso made many portraits in this style, most often of the women in his life, their expressively colored faces composed of geometric shards of surface planes. In Woman in a Hat (Olga), 1935, he painted his first wife as an assemblage of abstract forms, leaving the viewer to decipher the subject through the contrasting colors and shapes. Picasso was a tireless artist, creating more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculptures. Tracing his life’s work reveals the progression of modern art, on which he had an unparalleled influence.

Alice Ballard - Artist Statement
My art is a reflection of my relationship with natural forms. These forms come to me
on walks, while I work in my garden, or appear as gifts from friends who share my
fascination with the beauty inherent in Nature’s abundant variety of forms. It is often
the metamorphosis of nature’s forms, as they change from season to season, that
attracts me. I am endlessly drawn to that universal world in which differing life forms
share similar qualities.
I spend countless hours contemplating a particular form in order to feel its energy. It
becomes a Zen-like connection not unlike a meditation. As an artist, I hope that
those who choose to connect with my work can share some of the harmony and
tranquility I feel through the creative process. Perhaps, at the very least, the viewer
will give those small, often unnoticed forms in Nature a second glance.
Alice R. Ballard. (born June 16, 1945, Florence, South Carolina) is an American ceramicist based in Greenville, South Carolina. Much of her work is characterized by the organic earthenware forms of closed containers...
