La Californie, Cannes 1959.

A cluttered corner in the studio at Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. The space is filled with abstract sculptures, wooden furniture, and packing materials. Centrally, a stylized, reclining figure rests on a small table, while other sculptural forms are scattered on the floor and nearby stools. To the right, a large wooden shipping crate made of slats, stenciled with the letters ‘GP’, stands open, its crumpled packing paper spilling out. The lighting creates a play of shadows, highlighting the various textures of the sculptures, wood, and paper.
