La Californie, Cannes 1961.

At Picasso’s villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961, a large, abstract sculpture of a seated figure dominates the artist's cluttered studio. Constructed from flat, cut-out planes of sheet metal, its cubist form features a head made of geometric shapes and a torso of overlapping pieces detailed with punched holes. A sweeping arm wraps around the front, ending in a hand with circular cut-outs. In the background, a painting in a similar style leans against the wall amid other creations.
