To strike a pose, Pablo Picasso tries on hats from his collection for his own amusement and that of his guests. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

For his own amusement and that of his guests, Pablo Picasso tries on a fedora from his collection. Photographed at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, he stands in a personally cluttered room with ornate, rococo-style moldings. A dresser to his right is piled with more hats and personal effects, while a large mirror reflects another part of the space, including one of the artist's own mask-like paintings, intimately blending his domestic life with his art.
