'We invite the public to discover a selection dedicated exclusively to the work of one of the 20th century's most influential and innovative artists, Pablo Picasso. The event highlights several limited-edition ceramic pieces created at the prestigious Madoura Plein Feu studio in Vallauris, France—where Pablo Picasso produced nearly 4,000 such works between 1947 and 1971,' stated Andrei Apreotesei, Manager of the Palace of Culture - 'Moldova' National Museum Complex, Iasi.


Appreciated by both the general public and art critics as one of the most brilliant artistic personalities of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso (1881, Malaga, Spain - 1973, Mougins, France) created over 20,000 works throughout his life, from painting and sculpture to ceramics, drawing and scenography.

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, who would become known as Picasso, was initiated into the mysteries of painting by his father, then attended the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona and the Academy of Painting in Madrid. His artistic journey was particularly marked by formative trips to Paris, where he discovered artists such as Renoir and Monet, Georges Braque, with whom he initiated the Cubist movement, Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh, under whose influence on African art he carried out numerous experiments, relying on the deconstruction of the conventions of perspective that had dominated art for centuries.AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Daniela Malache, editing by: George Onea; EN - writing by: Catalin Cristian Trandafir)
