In his cluttered studio, Le Fournas, Pablo Picasso works on a sculpture assembled from odds and ends from his scrap heap. Dressed in a light-colored knit sweater, he is bent over the long, abstract wooden figure resting on the brick floor. The finished work would be titled "La femme à la clé" ("Woman with a key"). The space is filled with other works in progress, including a sculpted white bust and an assembled goat’s head, surrounded by pottery, tools, and scrap metal. Vallauris, 1953.
