A studio at La Californie, Cannes 1960.

The artist's studio at La Californie in Cannes, photographed in 1960, presents a scene of prolific creation within a grand architectural setting. The room's high, ornate ceilings and elegant moldings contrast with the wooden parquet floor, which is strewn with dozens of modern and cubist canvases. Leaning against walls and furniture, the artworks are dominated by a large painting of stylized figures on the back wall. An industrial lamp looms on one side, while in a doorway, a tall sculpture of stacked forms is suspended near a plaster cast of a hand.
