Imitating the gestures and voice of a tragedian with noises sounding like English, Pablo Picasso imagines himself as Hamlet. La Californie, Cannes 1957.
In his cluttered studio at La Californie, Cannes, Pablo Picasso imagines himself as Hamlet in 1957. Imitating the gestures and voice of a tragedian, he gazes directly at the camera while holding a human skull in his left hand. He raises his right in an open-palmed gesture, a lit cigarette between his fingers, while wearing a dark, collared shirt and plaid trousers.
