La Californie, Cannes 1958.

The sunlit, ornate rooms of the villa La Californie in Cannes serve as a bustling artist's studio in 1958. High ceilings and large arched windows illuminate a parquet floor cluttered with art, including hand-painted ceramic bowls and a classical female nude sculpture. Stacked canvases lean against the walls near a large cubist-style painting on an easel, the modern works creating a striking contrast with the villa's grand architecture.
