In the art-filled rooms of Villa La Californie in Cannes, Paloma Picasso pulls a surprise cracker with Catherine Hutin. Captured mid-motion in a plaid skirt, Paloma is the scene's focus as the Dominguin children and Picasso's housekeeper, Inès Sassier, look on. The creative clutter of the studio surrounds them, with canvases propped against furniture. On a nearby armchair, an open book reveals a portrait of Paloma herself, 1959.
