Pablo Picasso working on gouache with Caran d'ache wax oil pastels and water color. Pablo Picasso always liked surprises and in his work he encouraged unpredictable outcomes. La Californie, Cannes 1961.

Intensely focused, Pablo Picasso works with gouache, Caran d'ache wax oil pastels, and watercolor on a small board mounted on a tripod. This 1961 photograph captures him in his studio at the Villa La Californie, Cannes, a room of elegant contrasts. High ceilings and rococo moldings frame a space filled with creative clutter: modernist paintings hang near a traditional still life and musical instruments, while a nearby sofa is heaped with papers and books, offering an intimate view of the artist in his element.
