The writer Louis Aragon (left) engages in a serious conversation with Maurice Thorez during a private viewing at the Galerie H. Matarasso in Nice, 1956. Thorez, in a dark overcoat, listens intently as Aragon, seen in profile, speaks. Between them, gallery owner Henri Matarasso smiles. The event celebrated the exhibition “Pablo Picasso. Un Demi-Siècle de Livres Illustrés,” and the candid photograph captures the formal, engaged atmosphere of the gathering.
