La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Inside the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, a low-angle photograph captures a cluttered creative space. A large, carved printing block, likely for a linocut, rests in the foreground on a herringbone-patterned floor. Directly behind it hangs the resulting print, its white design of swirling foliate forms and stylized figures stark against a dark background. To the right, a stack of other artworks and the ambient details of the room—a lit lamp, a chair, and stray clothespins—create a candid and intimate composition.
