Dedicated to the effervescence of ceramic production in the 1950s in Vallauris, this catalogue, through the presentation of nearly 300 works and documents, highlights the attractiveness of the town after the Second World War and its expertise in ceramic creation.
The post-war years appear as a mythical moment when everything seemed to come together to revive the pottery city and give birth to an unparalleled creative impulse.
Thus, the 1950s saw the establishment of a new generation of creators making the most of local resources, factories formerly established in Vallauris maintaining their activities and new ones developing, while the aura of Picasso, established in Madoura, attracted his poet and painter friends. Gradually, a modus vivendi was established, where for about ten years, between cohabitation – more or less accepted – and collaboration, between tradition and innovation, crossovers and encounters took place in a climate of both work and celebration.
Vallauris appears to be a real workshop town, bubbling with encounters, new ideas and experiments.
