A corner at La Californie, Cannes 1961.

A cluttered corner of the studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961. The worn, chevron-patterned floor is strewn with portfolios and loose papers. The space is densely packed with artworks, including distinctive ceramic pieces—an owl-faced vase and two sculpted heads—a painting of a crouching nude, and a tall, boxy wooden sculpture. A grand, arched doorway with paneled shutters forms a backdrop to the scene of chaotic, creative energy.
