Las Vegas Art Gallery News: Picasso in Clay

The Nevada Museum of Art is showcasing iconic ceramic works of Pablo Picasso through the summer

Although Pablo Picasso is best known as a modernist who founded the cubist movement, he also produced a lesser-known but equally impressive body of decorative ceramic objects during his final years. Picasso in Clay, on view at the Nevada Museum of Art through August 7, presents 30 of the iconic artist’s ceramic works on loan from longtime collectors Robert Felton and Lindsay Wallis.

From everyday animals and plants to mythological creatures and hybrid human-animals, Picasso’s ceramics reflect the joy and newfound freedom he embraced while living in southern France following World War II.
