A studio at La Californie, Cannes 1960.

A studio at La Californie in Cannes, photographed in 1960, is a space brimming with paintings and art supplies. A large, unframed canvas depicting cubist figures leans against a wall beside an ornate, arched window. Throughout the room, smaller works rest on furniture or are propped on easels. In the foreground, a thick stack of papers lies on the floor, while a double-headed studio lamp, with small dolls hanging from its arm, arcs over the busy, creative scene.
