La Californie 1961.

An assortment of artworks populates a room at Villa La Californie in 1961. On an easel, a large monochromatic line drawing of nudes is displayed above a smaller, colorful piece with a red arched top. To the right, a translucent panel with a green and amber leaf pattern glows from behind, its light dramatically interrupted by strong, dark shadows. On the wooden floor in the foreground, several smaller paintings with abstract and still-life forms lean against a support, contributing to the studio’s warm, intimate atmosphere.
