Joan Miró installing a sculpture in the gardens of Musée Maeght. Saint-Paul-de-Vence 1964.

In the gardens of the still-under-construction Musée Maeght, Joan Miró is seen from behind, hands to his head as he oversees the installation of a work in 1964. The Saint-Paul-de-Vence site is scattered with ladders, scaffolding, and building materials. Resting against a rustic fieldstone wall is a large, whimsical sculpture resembling a cannon, a smiling face crudely drawn on its circular end. The artist contemplates his creation amidst the modern architectural elements of the burgeoning museum.
