As is known, movements in painting from Cezanne onwards used everyday objects as subjects and likewise, potters of the period drew on art. Many painters followed Picasso's example and plunged into pottery, assisting pottery studios who did well as a result. The hotbed for this art pottery was Vallauris in the South of France. Robert Picault working at this time in Vallauris was one of the noteworthy figures producing work of a high standard.

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.
