André Verdet, Pablo Picasso, Suzanne Ramié. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso engages in conversation with the poet André Verdet and the ceramist Suzanne Ramié in 1956. Seen in profile, Picasso gestures with his right hand as he speaks. Verdet stands between them, looking down thoughtfully, while Ramié smiles towards Picasso, her own hand raised in a conversational gesture. The studio is densely populated with art; decorated ceramics rest on the floor, while sculptures and tribal masks populate the mantelpiece and walls.
