Tour the Ceramic works of Pablo Picasso

ICON will have a guided tour of Picasso Ceramics: Master in Clay, Part II on Saturday October 21 at 10 at Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center.

The whimsical ceramic works of Pablo Picasso return to the MACC this fall for the exhibit “Master in Clay, Part II.” On loan from the Park West Museum in Southfield, Mich., the exhibit will feature more than 60 of the master’s highly stylized ceramics. These works were first exhibited at the MACC in 2019.

Picasso was already 64-years-old and an internationally known master painter when he decided to make a serious study of ceramics. In designing his elaborate plates, bowls, pitchers, vases and other functional clay objects, the legendary artist allowed his imagination free rein.

His embellishments were often playful, depicting Greek mythological figures and bullfighting scenes, along with the faces of some of his friends and acquaintances. These works delighted visitors at the MACC in 2019. More than 10,000 people attended the exhibit from across the United States.
