Vallauris, 29 March 1958.

Georges Salles, President of ICOM (left), engages in an intense conversation with the artist Edouard Pignon in Vallauris on 29 March 1958. Viewed in profile, Salles, with distinctive swept-back hair and glasses, gestures as he speaks, while Pignon listens attentively, a cigarette between his fingers. The photograph was taken during the unveiling of Pablo Picasso's monumental mural, "The Fall of Icarus." It was Salles who had renamed the forty-panel work, destined for the UNESCO building in Paris, from its original title.
