From A Private Collection, Two Worlds in Clay: Pre-Columbian & Picasso Ceramics, 20th-Century Masterworks on Paper

by Timothy A. Eaton

A broad selection of Picasso’s works in ceramics, including plates, bowls, vessels, and plaques all glazed and fired raw. The pre-Columbian works include fine examples of Mayan artifacts such as burial runes, plates, bowls, and ceremonial vessels. Museum Curator Tim Eaton notes a relationship. “The relationship between these pre-Columbian and Picasso works, from an aesthetic and material basis is both charming and revealing. The exhibition personifies a breadth in stylistic expression between two distant eras and traditions.”
