Pablo Picasso, the writer Michel Leiris, his wife Louise Leiris, owner with Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler of the Leiris Gallery Paris. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the creative chaos of Pablo Picasso’s studio at La Californie, Cannes, Louise Leiris presents a large art book to the artist and her husband, the writer Michel Leiris. Picasso, with his back to the viewer, and Leiris, in profile, lean in to examine a dynamic ink drawing of a figure on horseback. A co-owner of the prestigious Paris gallery that represented the artist, Louise Leiris gestures towards the open pages in this focused moment of artistic review, captured in 1959.
