Joie de Vivre (A.R. 346) is a ceramic plaque by Pablo Picasso, produced in 1958 at the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris, France. Executed in glazed earthenware, the composition celebrates movement and vitality through fluid line work and animated figures characteristic of Picasso’s late-1950s ceramic output. The work was issued in a numbered edition of approximately 500 examples, consistent with Madoura’s larger production runs during this period. Created in southern France, Joie de Vivre reflects Picasso’s ability to translate themes of pleasure and exuberance into the graphic language of ceramics.
