Pablo Picasso (in the car) and Cocteau leaving a private viewing of his book illustrations in the Matarasso gallery in Nice. "Pablo Picasso. Un Demi-Siècle de Livres Illustrés". Galerie H. Matarasso. 21.12.1956-31.1.1957. Nice 1956.
With a startled expression, Jean Cocteau emerges from a car as Pablo Picasso remains partially visible inside. The two are leaving a private viewing of Picasso’s exhibition, "Un Demi-Siècle de Livres Illustrés," at the Galerie H. Matarasso. In the stark, direct flash of the camera, the unposed nighttime moment is captured. Cocteau, wearing a dark overcoat and checkered scarf, is watched by a chauffeur in a peaked cap who looks down into the vehicle's interior. Nice, 1956.
