Imitating the gestures and voice of a tragedian with noises sounding like English, Pablo Picasso imagines himself as Hamlet. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

Pablo Picasso imagines himself as Hamlet, imitating the gestures of a tragedian in his cluttered studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1957. Dressed in a dark shirt and plaid trousers, he holds a human skull in one hand and raises the other, a lit cigarette between his fingers. He stands looking directly at the camera amidst the creative chaos of canvases, sculptures, and books that fill his personal space.
