Picasso experimented with ceramics throughout his long career, creating thousands of pieces. He found the medium to be a welcome change from painting and sculpture and was drawn to the challenge of working with clay. His ceramic works often depict faces, animals, and figures, and they are known for their simplicity and whimsy.
