"Picasso Ceramics from the Bernie Bercuson Collection of the Museum of
Art Fort Lauderdale," a nationally touring exhibit, continues through
Jan. 7 at the Leepa Rattner Museum of Art.
The collection contains pieces ranging from 1947 to 1971, the entire
period of Picasso's involvement with ceramics, showing his development
within the medium.
More than 50 ceramic objects in the exhibit - including pitchers,
platters, plaques and vases - demonstrate Picasso's use of designs and
themes from other cultures such as primitive, tribal-like depictions of
animals and figures, as well as those from his own Spanish heritage.
Picasso wanted to succeed in creating a truly popular art of complete
artistic integrity through the widespread diffusion of high-quality
work.
