In the late 1940s, Pablo Picasso settled in the small town of Vallauris in the south of France, drawn by its light, scenery, and thriving pottery tradition. From 1948 to 1955, he immersed himself in ceramics at the Madoura workshop, producing thousands of pieces that merged ancient forms with his bold modern style. Vallauris also inspired some of his most iconic political works, including the mural War and Peace, and during his stay he became an active figure in the local community, revitalizing its artistic life and international reputation.
