Pablo Picasso, Claude Picasso and Jacques Frélaut, printer, Vallauris. Easter, La Californie 1961.

In his studio at the Villa La Californie, Pablo Picasso engages in an animated conversation with his printer, Jacques Frélaut. Picasso’s young son, Claude, stands in profile, observing the exchange. Frélaut smiles as he listens, holding a painter's palette amidst a dense background of canvases and expressive masks. The photograph captures an informal moment in the busy, creative space in Vallauris during Easter of 1961.
