26.2.1955, funeral of Olga Pablo Picasso, born Khokhlova, Pablo Picasso’s first wife. With her son Paulo Picasso, Georges and Suzanne Ramié (but not Pablo Picasso). Cimetière le Grand Jas. Cannes 1955.
At the Cimetière le Grand Jas in Cannes, mourners gather for the funeral of Olga Khokhlova, Pablo Picasso’s first wife. Her son, Paulo Picasso, stands near the polished casket alongside Georges and Suzanne Ramié; Pablo Picasso is notably absent. A high-ranking clergyman officiates at the outdoor service on a sunlit gravel path. The strong sunlight on this day, February 26, 1955, creates sharp shadows, contrasting with the solemnity of the occasion among the stone tombs and palm trees.
