A studio at La Californie, Cannes 1960.

A view of the artist’s studio at Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1960, reveals a space of intense and prolific activity. The wooden parquet floor is strewn with artworks and supplies, including a portfolio with an ink wash drawing dated "26.4.60." A central stack of canvases is surrounded by numerous modernist paintings leaning against furniture. Among the creative clutter, a collection of small, carved sculptures rests on the floor, including a prominent totem-like wooden owl on a stand.
