Perhaps I am dreaming but I seem to recall
that Picasso could and did throw some of his own pots.
I thought it was a posting on Clayart about a year ago.
Am I the only one that seems to recall it?
Is there someone who can give a source for
this information?
Now regarding "Crap" has anyone ever seen
the "Teletubbies", eaten at McDonalds,
listened to a politician, dealt with an
insurance or utility company, bought a used car,
or stepped in a steaming pile of ... well you
the picture..... Now that is what I call crap!

I just quickly (too quickly probably) scanned the book "Picasso painter
and sculptor in clay" published by the Met for the exhibition, to see if
there was a clear definitive answer. He modeled some animals in clay, and
we know he took other thrown pots and reassembed or otherwise altered
them..... On page 253 in the glossary under 'thrown' the
book says: "Picasso did not throw his own pots, relying on Jules Agard
and the other technicians at the Madoura factory"
This may not mean he didn't , at some point, somewhere, sometime, throw
....but it surely gave me the impression he did not, which was also clearly
brought out at the exhibition.
In no way did this diminish the exhibit (to me)....

> thanks for your post,Gayle, I have been privikedged to view at least
three comprehensive Picasso exhibitions from 1935(?) "Guernica" at the
Boston Musee of fine Art to the Philidelphia where I saw earlier works as
well as Lincoln, Mass. where I saw line drawings. I have viewed Picasso
from his early classical works right up to his final productions and have
never gone away without having learned something. Everyone has 'bad' days
and P. was no exception but, what has that to do with anything?
