        <p style="text-align: left;"><span>We tend to forget it, but ceramics were an important part of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pablo-picasso-inspired-fashion-runway-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pablo Picasso</a>'s creative process. Indeed, in 1946, the artist met Georges and Suzanne Rami&eacute;, the owners of the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris.</span> <span>He then designed more than</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">3,500 creations, ceramics offering him the possibility of crossing the boundaries between &ldquo;decorative arts&rdquo;</span> <span>and &ldquo;major arts&rdquo;, but also of</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">making his work more accessible.</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">He</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">even diverts it, by modeling it to create new plastic forms such as pitchers whose handles are, for example, shaped to form facial features.</span></p>

                <p style="text-align: left;"><span>The ceramic service offered is characterized by the artist's familiar motif, a face approaching</span> <span>a smile, inviting contemplation, while a rectangular dish bears witness to the recurrence of bullfighting in Picasso's culture. We say this to say, that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/moschino-spring-summer-2020-collection-jeremy-scott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Picasso's legacy</a> is unsurpassed within the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/paris-par-art-basel-2023-exhibits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">art realm</a>, and on the 50th anniversary of his death, Europe's leading online retailer of secondhand luxury, Collector's Square, honors his impact by holding a special auction.</span></p>
                <p style="text-align: left;"><span>The sale brings together more than thirty works by the artist, including his cherished ceramics from over the years and select prints.</span></p>
                <p style="text-align: left;"><span>A print - a technique that Picasso experimented with the most - takes the form of an etching presenting the Catalan artist's jerky gesture on a charcoal black background. Profiles drawn in negative contemplate the painter at work in the privacy of his studio.</span></p>
