Vallauris Shirt

Picasso at Vallauris.

The greatest artist of the 20th century is trim and muscular at the age of 70. Daily swims off the Côte d’Azur help keep him vigorous.

When he’s not at the pottery in Vallauris, reinventing the art of ceramics, or working furiously on his latest mural, you might see him presiding at the bullring, wearing this shirt.

It’s a favorite of his. He borrowed it from the local fishermen (there’s an almost identical shirt in his Night Fishing at Antibes).

I can’t promise you this shirt will increase your creative output. But as the man himself once said, “Everything you can imagine is real.”

Vallauris Shirt (No. 6603). Substantial cotton jersey knit with long sleeves, spirited, curled boatneck collar, 5/8" stripes positioned (as in the original) to leave your shoulders free for action. Imported.
