La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, an array of paintings and sculptures is arranged around an ornate white fireplace mantel. Three square ceramic tiles, each painted with a stylized face, rest on the mantel above several more small paintings propped on the hearth. To the right, a large, circular wooden sculpture with geometric cut-outs stands on an easel, while the wall behind is adorned with broad, abstract terracotta brushstrokes. A strong light source from the right casts dramatic shadows across the artistic space.
