At the Galerie Madoura in Vallauris, 1954, Pablo Picasso is the animated center of attention during a visit from a Soviet film delegation. With a joyful expression, he points toward a large ceramic vessel, drawing the admiration of his guests. The group includes directors Grigori Alexandrov and Serge Youtkevitch, actresses Ljubov Orlova and Klara Luchko, Catherine Litvinenko, and Picasso’s son, Paulo. The rustic stone walls of the pottery studio provide an intimate backdrop for the celebratory gathering.
