ResumoARTISTIC FRIENDSHIP AT THE MADOURA STUDIO: MICHEL SIMA AND PABLO PICASSO The article discusses numerous significant trends of 20th-century art and aims to complement the extensive sources concerning the activity of Poles in France. It focuses on one of the most important and now largely forgotten pottery workshop of the French Riviera, the Madoura Studio. The article discusses the artists connected with this site, their works and the influence of Pablo Picasso on the economic situation of Vallauris. It also explores the artistic friendship between Pablo Picasso and Polish artist Michel Sima (Michał Smajewski). It reveals obscure facts from Sima’s life and explores fragments of his abundant artistic legacy, which is stored in the private archives of his family. The author of the article makes an attempt to systematize and analyze Smajewski’s ceramic works and, most significantly, to demonstrate that he was not merely a man documenting Picasso’s creations but an important artist of the École de Paris in his own right.
