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 cluttered studio of his villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso (back to camera) and the writer Michel Leiris intently examine a large open book. It is presented by Leiris’s wife, Louise, co-owner of the Parisian Galerie Leiris. She leans forward, gesturing towards a page that features an expressive ink drawing of a picador, surrounded by the artist’s stacked canvases and sculptures. Cannes, 1959.
