In his high-ceilinged studio at Villa La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso gestures emphatically while in conversation with his guests in 1956. From left, Swiss collector Anna Blankart, artist Alberto Magnelli with a cigarette, and his wife Susi Magnelli-Gerson listen intently. Surrounded by canvases, including a massive Cubist painting behind them, the group is captured in a moment of animated discussion within the artist's creative workspace.
