Two ceramic figures in the garden of La Californie. Pablo Picasso first cut these Figures 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 Cannes villa, La Californie, two of Pablo Picasso’s ceramic figures stand among lush foliage, 1956. One stylized musician stands playing a vertical wind instrument, while a second, seated musician is curled into a near-circular form beneath a palm. Picasso first created the designs from cut and painted plywood, which then served as models for the clay versions fired at the Madoura pottery in Vallauris and assembled on site.
