A studio at La Californie, Cannes 8.9.1960.

A studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 8 September 1960. The cluttered space is filled with modernist artworks, dominated by a large tapestry of stylized, angular figures on the back wall. On the floor and propped against the walls are various framed pieces, drawings, and prints. A tall, painted wooden sculpture with a totemic quality stands amidst the collection, illuminated by light streaming through an ornate, white-painted arched doorway, creating a sense of a busy, creative environment.
