A studio at La Californie, Cannes 8.9.1960.

Viewed through a wide, arched doorway, the grand, high-ceilinged artist's studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes is filled with an eclectic mix of art and personal effects on 8 September 1960. A monumental painting of cubist figures dominates the back wall, while numerous other canvases lean against furniture. To the left, a parrot sits on its perch amid the creative clutter. The room’s classical architecture, with its ornate molding and arched glass door, provides a formal backdrop for the works in progress scattered across the floor.
