English:

Large format gelatin silver print, printed in 1989 on semi-matte paper 40,6 x 50,2 cm, in excellent condition. Photographer's faded signature and edition note "E.A." (for "épreuve d'artiste") in the lower margin, redrawn with a felt-tip pen, photographer's copyright stamp, his signature and handwritten print date "89" in blue ink on the reverse.

From 1948 to 1955, Picasso lived in the heart of the Côte d'Azur in Vallauris, known for its pottery tradition. There, the versatile virtuoso pursued his passion for ceramics, a technique that for him was not a craft but a sculptural art. Naturally, he also took part in the annual "fête de la poterie" in August, where photographer Luc Fournol captured him playing the trumpet.

Deutsch:

Großformatiger Silbergelatineabzug, geprintet 1989 auf halbmattem Papier 40,6 x 50,2 cm, in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Am unteren Rand verblasste Signatur und handschriftlicher Editionsvermerk "E.A." (für "épreuve d'artiste"), mit Filzstift nachgezogen, rückseitig Fotografen-Copyrightstempel, Signatur und handschriftliches Printdatum "89" mit blauer Tinte.

Von 1948 bis 1955 lebte Picasso im Herzen der Côte d'Azur in Vallauris, das für seine Töpfertradition bekannt ist. Dort folgte der vielseitige Virtuose seiner Leidenschaft für Keramik, eine Technik, die für ihn nicht Kunsthandwerk, sondern skulpturale Kunst war. Selbstverständlich nahm er auch am jährlichen "fête de la poterie" im August teil, wo ihn der Fotograf Luc Fournol beim Trompetenspiel aufnahm.

Size: 30 x 40,3 cm
