The proverbial disorder of the rooms in which Pablo Picasso works is unique. Beside the large pieces of sculpture in painted iron and plaster hang portraits of Jacqueline and Paloma Picasso surrounded by drawings, objects and notes pinned to the wall. La Californie, Cannes 1961.

The proverbial disorder of Pablo Picasso’s studio at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1961. Large sculptures in painted iron and plaster, including an abstract sheet-metal figure and a blocky humanoid form, stand on the herringbone floor. Portraits of his wife, Jacqueline, and daughter, Paloma, hang on the wainscoted walls, surrounded by drawings, notes, and the famous bull’s head sculpture made from bicycle parts. The entire room is a creative disarray of unframed canvases, boxes, and stacked books.
