Picasso ceramics by Madoura « Poisson chiné » by Pablo Picasso Plat ovale, empreinte originale, created in 1952. from an edition of 200 examples. Dimensions : 42.5 X 34.5 cm. Référence catalogue Madoura n° 170. Sourced from a private collection of Picasso ceramics, originally purchased at Madoura in Vallauris in the 1950s. In the late 1940s Pablo Picasso, then in his sixties, discovered a new passion, as a result of his encounter with Suzanne and Georges Ramié at the Atelier Madoura in Vallauris on the Cote d'Azur. A master artist, “The Artist" of the 20th century, Picasso was, however, relatively new to ceramics, a novice even, yet, as always during his artistic journey his hunger for new ideas and desire to master the process took over and he quickly mastered the art of hand decorated ceramics . After much experimentation with the Ramies, Picasso soon became adept in the art of glazed ceramic pottery. During the following 24 years Picasso produced thousands of different unique ceramic pieces with Madoura, vases, plates, bowls, sculptures and objects which he decorated with all manner of anthropomorphic imagery, including faces, owls, fish, bulls, beasts and many other elements from his lifelong stock of artistic imagery. Madoura replicated his unique designs using moulds to copy the form and then mimicking Picasso's delicate brushstrokes with glazes to match the originals. The result was 633 different ceramic editions produced by the Ramié’s between 1947 and 1971. The editions were made in multiples of 25 up to 500, generally speaking the edition size today determines the rarity and ultimately the value of each piece. Many, but not all were numbered, all feature a variety painted and/or impressed marks made by the Madoura potters - The stamps include ‘Madoura plein feu’ , ‘ Empreinte originale de Picasso’ and ‘Edition Picasso’ The market for Picasso ceramics made by Madoura in the mid 20th century has grown significantly during the past decade. It has become one of the most accessible areas of collecting the great masters art...
