Plaster moulds/blocks for the production of ceramic editions. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 1961.

At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 1961, plaster moulds for ceramic editions rest on a rough-hewn stone floor. Strong, direct sunlight casts deep shadows across the workshop, illuminating several plaques with relief carvings. Among them are a stylized bouquet, a primitive abstract face, and a pastoral scene featuring a seated flutist and a leaping figure. Other similar forms are scattered in the surrounding light and shadow, awaiting production.
