A corner in La Californie, Cannes 1961.

A corner of Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961, reveals a dense arrangement of art and curiosities. An easel displays works-in-progress, including a minimalist print dated "16.3.61." Nearby, a Cubist sculpted head wearing a woven basket as a hat sits beside an arched window. To the right, a prominent ceramic vase decorated with an owl stands next to a live owl, which peers out from beneath a wicker umbrella, creating a composition of finished pieces, experiments, and personal objects.
