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

In the storerooms of the Madoura pottery in Vallauris, 1953, Pablo Picasso gently examines a small ceramic bird. Dressed in a dark beret and tweed coat, the artist is surrounded by his original works, which fill the simple wooden shelves from floor to ceiling. The prolific collection includes pitchers decorated with expressive figures and highly stylized anthropomorphic forms, all stored beneath rustic, exposed ceiling beams.
