Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Original photograph of Pablo Picasso in his workshop in Vallauris with his ceramics and plaster
s.d. [around 1948], Photograph: 17.3 x 21.3cm; Leaf: 18 x 24cm, one leaf.

Splendid portrait of Pablo Picasso, taken by Michel Sima in Picasso's Madoura workshop in Vallauris with his ceramics and a plaster model of his Centaure (1948).

Contemporary silver print. Pencil inscription on the back.
Thanks to the author of this superb portrait, Picasso began his impressive ceramic production at the Madoura workshop, in the small town of Vallauris known for its pottery tradition. Sima photographed with vigour the master and his many creations exhibited on the bare walls of his workshop bathed with Mediterranean light. Picasso produced 2000 unique pieces between 1947 and 1948 and revolutionised the forms and techniques of this medium, to which he added fragments of pigments, saggar, broken bricks to the bellies of his ceramics in the form of owls, doves, fauna, invisible women...

"Au mois de septembre 1946, Pablo Picasso installe son atelier dans les combles du château Grimaldi d'Antibes, dans une ancienne "salle des gardes" dont le conservateur Romuald Dor de la Souchère lui a confié les clés pour qu'il y travaille à sa guise. C'est l'artiste Michel Sima, sculpteur et photographe, qui a fait se rencontrer les deux hommes. Arrivé de sa Pologne natale en 1929, Sima, de son vrai nom Michel Smajewski , avait fait la connaissance de Picasso à Paris, où il avait fréquenté l'Académie de la Grande Chaumière et été l'élève de Zadkine. De la mi-septembre à la mi-novembre 1946 à Antibes, puis en 1947-48 et jusqu'au début des années 50 à Vallauris, Sima photographiera régulièrement Picasso, qui se prête volontiers au jeu de la pose - seul ou avec sa compagne Françoise Gilot, devant des oeuvres terminées ou en cours d'achèvement, fixant l'objectif ou au contraire concentré sur son travail" (Anne de Staël, L'Atelier des combles, 2009).

Magnificent contrasting and brilliant print of Pablo Picasso in his creative sanctuary.
Provenance: Paul Destribats collection.
