Robert Picault (1919–1989) was a celebrated French ceramic artist whose work epitomized the unique tradition of Vallauris pottery. Born in Paris, Picault later moved to the south of France, where he immersed himself in the rich artistic heritage of Vallauris, a town renowned for its pottery and ceramics. Throughout his career, he became one of the key figures in the post-war revival of French ceramics.
Picault's style was a harmonious blend of modernist aesthetics and traditional ceramic techniques. His work often featured bold colors, organic forms, and intricate glazing methods, making each piece a striking example of mid-20th-century French craftsmanship. His unique approach to ceramics and his dedication to innovation earned him widespread acclaim, and he became known for creating both functional and decorative pieces.
During his career, Picault collaborated with numerous galleries and exhibitions, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the world of fine ceramics. His works can be found in major collections and museums, including the Musée National de Céramique in Sèvres and the Musée de la Céramique in Vallauris.
Picault's legacy continues to inspire collectors and ceramic enthusiasts worldwide, and his pieces are highly sought after for their timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship.

Robert Picault
Robert Picault was born in Paris. After studying ceramics at the Ecole des Arts Appliqués in Paris, he moved to Vallauris at the end of World War Two. Here, with Roger Capron, he founded the Atelier Callis in 1946. Two years later, he set up his own pottery in the Chemin du Fournas in the village. He was a friend, colleague and next-door-neighbour to Pablo Picasso, and the two learnt from each other aspects of the other's specialities. Picault was also an accomplished cinematographer and photographer, and made a series of four short films with Picasso and leading show-business personalities of the 1950s. He used copper oxide and iron oxide in his glazes, and the bulk of his work is characterized by green and brown geometric motifs consisting of noughts and crosses, bands and waves.
