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

At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris in 1961, plaster moulds for the production of ceramic editions rest on a rough wooden support. Seen from a high angle, the central pieces feature a face in classical profile and an abstract, frontal visage. Portions of other moulds show a dynamic bullfighting scene and a foliate design. Strong side lighting casts deep shadows, emphasizing the textures of the plaster, wood, and the cracked stone floor below.
