Pablo Picasso, Suzanne Ramié, Jaime Sabartés. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso engages in an animated discussion with the ceramicist Suzanne Ramié, 1956. Both gesture downwards, as if focused on a work just out of frame. To their left, Picasso’s secretary and friend Jaime Sabartés, wearing a double-breasted suit, observes the exchange with his arms crossed. The studio is filled with canvases and artifacts, including a cubist portrait and tribal objects visible on the walls.
