Note: This was made to advertise the forthcoming show given by the Madoura Gallery in 1959 of Picasso’s ceramic works. There was a larger Original Linocut work (Bloch 1286). This is the second of a series of two posters commissioned by the Vallauris Potters Association. The posters were done on different dates and designed to create “a multiplicity of forms”. These pottery works have an impressive appearance caused by the suitability of the colours and their innate simplicity. There was a larger wok which was made as an Original Linocut and recorded in Bloch number 1286
