The entrance to La Californie, Cannes 1959.

At the entrance to the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, a large, abstract sculpture leans against a dark wooden door. Below, another sculpture of a creature crouches on a pile of wooden slats. A tall, multi-paned glass door with ornate wrought-iron scrollwork stands ajar, letting in bright daylight that floods the mosaic-tiled floor and casts striped shadows across the interior. The scene contrasts the rough, modern sculptures with the space’s classical architectural details.
