Sculptures in the garden. Pablo Picasso first cut out the two ceramic figures on the left out from sheets of plywood or cardboard then painted them. He then had the pieces made in clay on which he painted. They were fired in the kiln at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris and assembled. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

In the garden of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso displays a group of his sculptures. The two ceramic figures on the left—a standing flute player and a curled figure—were first conceived as painted cutouts of plywood or cardboard. Picasso then had them executed in clay, which he painted before they were fired at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris and assembled. A third, more abstract seated sculpture is partially visible at right amid the dense foliage, 1956.
