Céramique de Picasso by Georges Ramié is a definitive and visually stunning exploration of Pablo Picasso’s revolutionary work in ceramics, authored by the co-founder of the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, where Picasso produced thousands of ceramic pieces between 1947 and 1971. Ramié, a close collaborator, offers an intimate perspective on Picasso’s creative process, from playful experimentation with clay to his transformation of traditional pottery into vibrant, modernist art.
The book features rich photographic documentation of Picasso’s ceramics—plates, pitchers, vases, and figurines adorned with his signature motifs (bulls, fauns, and faces)—alongside insights into his techniques and the symbiotic relationship between artist and artisan. Ramié’s text blends technical detail with personal anecdotes, revealing how Picasso’s boundless imagination turned utilitarian objects into masterpieces.
A must-have for Picasso enthusiasts and ceramic art scholars, this volume celebrates a lesser-known but vital chapter in the artist’s legacy, where earth and fire met genius.
