Pablo Picasso at storerooms at Madoura pottery where he keeps the originals. Vallauris 1953.

In the storerooms of the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso carefully examines a small, white, bird-like ceramic sculpture. Dressed in a dark beret and a heavy, textured coat, he stands in profile, surrounded by his original creations. The room is packed with artworks: wooden shelves are laden with vases, jugs, and sculpted heads, while tall, totem-like sculptures stand against the far wall. Other finished pieces are scattered around the artist’s feet and on a low bench.
