La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In Pablo Picasso’s studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, a dynamic composition is presented on a portfolio stand in 1959. Dated '1.10.57.VII', the artwork features two abstract, curvilinear figures, one lunging with a spear toward the other, which recoils. Elements are rendered as cutouts attached to the paper, lending a three-dimensional quality. Amid the creative clutter, with other canvases visible in the background, a hand enters the frame to adjust or present the piece.
