La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, an artist's studio is dominated by a large, unframed cubist painting of two seated female figures. The work rests on an ornate fireplace mantel alongside three smaller portraits, two dated "19.10.56." To the right, a wooden artist's palette has been transformed into a sculptural face. The modern artworks create a striking contrast with the classical architectural details of the room, including its paneled walls and decorative plasterwork.
