Picasso, best known as the founder of the Cubism art movement, took up ceramics after visiting Vallauris in Southern France for an annual pottery exhibition in 1946. It was there that the artist was introduced to Suzanne and Georges Ramie, owners of the Madoura Pottery workshop. The Ramies allowed Picasso to use their studio space to create ceramics and pottery as he pleased. In return, Picasso allowed the Ramies to make and sell limited editions of pieces he produced.

Beginning 10 May 2017, Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia will present the work of the pre-eminent American painter Philip Guston (1913 - 1980) in a major exhibition exploring the artist's oeuvre in relation to critical literary interpretation. In a spirit reflective of how Guston himself cultivated the sources of his inspiration, 'Philip Guston and The Poets' considers the ideas and writings of major 20th century poets as catalysts for his enigmatic pictures and visions. Featuring works that span a fifty-year period in Guston's artistic career, the exhibition includes 50 major paintings and 25 prominent drawings dating from 1930 until his death in 1980. The exhibition draws parallels between the essential humanist themes reflected in these works, and the language and prose of five poets: D. H. Lawrence (British, 1885 - 1930), W. B. Yeats (Irish, 1865 - 1939), Wallace Stevens (American, 1879 - 1955), Eugenio Montale (Italian, 1896 - 1981) and T. S. Eliot (American-born, British, 1888 - 1965).
