Pablo Picasso with female body mask Nevimbumbao Vanuatu, a present received from Matisse. La Californie, Cannes 1957.
At his Villa La Californie studio in Cannes, 1957, Pablo Picasso pauses with an intense gaze, a cigarette held in his right hand. Dressed in a bright yellow sweater, he stands beside a large Nevimbumbao female body mask from Vanuatu, a gift from Henri Matisse. The folkloric figure, with its shaggy hair and painted face, sits in a dark chair amidst a clutter of canvases and other artworks, including a modernist ceramic head.
