Focus on Nature morte au poron and analyze the Background.
Still life was a recurring theme for Picasso during the 1940s. He repeatedly returned to this genre during the Second World War and also during a later period when he was living in  Vallauris with his partner Françoise Gilot. Picasso created few oil paintings during 1948, instead concentrating on his ceramics at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Cote d'Azur. His preferred subjects during this period were Françoise Gilot, their son, Claude and still life.
