Pablo Picasso at work at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris. Above him is a statue of St-Claude, the patron saint of the potters, whose name was given to his younger son. Vallauris 23.3.1953.
In the rustic, sunlit Madoura pottery studio, Pablo Picasso is deeply focused on decorating a ceramic plate. Seated at a cluttered wooden workbench in Vallauris on 23 March 1953, the artist is surrounded by the implements of the potter’s trade. On a high shelf between two tall windows rests a statue of St-Claude, the patron saint of potters, after whom Picasso named his younger son. The scene captures a quiet moment of intense artistic concentration.
