Alföldi Gallery Shows Picasso Vallauris period

English

Pablo Picasso

The exhibition will feature more than 40 ceramic pieces and a dozen linocuts.

 
Picasso lived in Vallauris between 1948 and 1955. During this time, he developed a fascination with ceramics and linocuts. He also contributed greatly to the Vallauris pottery industry.
 
Many of the works in the exhibition are on loan from museums and private collectors. Among the pieces from private collections is a cut stone dove from Hódmezővásárhely museum director János Dömötör, who received it long ago from the mayor of Vallauris.
