La Californie, Cannes 1960

Sunlight floods the artist's studio at La Californie, his villa in Cannes, in 1960. The room is filled with paintings, drawings, and sculptures in various stages of completion. Strong light from the right casts dramatic, elongated shadows across the creative workspace. In the foreground, a fabric with bold geometric patterns is draped over an object. Modernist artworks are scattered throughout, including a large family portrait on the left and a drawing of organic shapes on a central easel, capturing the busy studio in a moment of quiet.
