Antibes Ramparts
$22.00
The walled town sits on a low peninsula on the Côte d'Azur, ringed on the seaward side by stone that goes back to Vauban and earlier. Picasso took a studio inside the Château Grimaldi in 1946. The paintings he left became the first museum dedicated to him, twenty years on. Nicolas de Staël took a studio in the old town in 1954 and painted from a window that looked at the same blue. The seawall heats up in the afternoon. The Mediterranean does the rest. The promenade along the top of the wall is named for an admiral born in the hills above the bay.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
