At his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso presents new work to an intimate group. Seen from the back in his distinctive houndstooth trousers, the artist looks on as his guests examine two large, identical abstract drawings propped on a rocking chair. Gathered for the private viewing are gallery owner Louise Leiris, seen smiling in profile; her husband Michel Leiris; publisher André Weill; and the artist’s son, Paulo Picasso.
