Paul Derigon, mayor of Vallauris, watches with rapt concentration during the unveiling of Pablo Picasso’s mural, "The Fall of Icarus." His expressive face, framed by a dark fedora, is turned upward toward the monumental work. The ceremony took place in Vallauris on 29 March 1958, before the forty-panel composition was installed at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
