A studio at La Californie, Cannes 1960. - Photo by Edward Quinn

A studio at La Californie, Cannes 1960.

The cluttered artist's studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1960, is set within a grand room featuring high ceilings, ornate moldings, and a parquet floor. A massive Cubist-style painting dominates the back wall, with a collection of smaller artworks propped on the floor below. To one side stands a large, articulated lamp near an easel. To the other, a decorative string of gourds hangs in an arched doorway, where a small, white sculpted hand is mounted on the frame. Canvases scattered about attest to a busy, creative workspace.
