Pablo Picasso signing autograph for Lucien Clergue. Unveiling of mural "The Fall of Icarus" for the conference hall of UNESCO building in Paris. The mural is made up of forty wooden panels. Initially titled "The Forces of Life and the Spirit Triumphing over Evil", the composition was renamed in 1958 by George Salles, who preferred the current title, "The Fall of Icarus". Vallauris, 29 March 1958.

In a moment of shared concentration, Pablo Picasso signs an autograph for the photographer Lucien Clergue in Vallauris on 29 March 1958. Picasso, in a flat cap and shearling-lined jacket, focuses on the task while Clergue, wearing wire-rimmed glasses and a patterned ascot, leans in. This meeting took place shortly before the unveiling of Picasso's monumental mural, "The Fall of Icarus," a work of forty wooden panels created for the UNESCO building in Paris.
