With the book Pierre Reverdy, Le chant des Morts: Pablo Picasso, Paulo Picasso, the printer of the book, Pierre Baudouin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso gestures expressively while discussing the book *Le chant des Morts*. The artist is joined by his son, Paulo Picasso—seen with arms crossed and a cigarette—and the book’s printer, Pierre Baudouin. An open copy of the work, a collaboration between Picasso and the poet Pierre Reverdy, rests on a table in the foreground of the art-filled studio, the focus of their intense conversation.
