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.

Sunlight illuminates the proverbial disorder of Pablo Picasso’s studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1961. Large sculptures in painted iron and plaster stand amidst a profusion of art. Unframed canvases rest on the parquet floor, while portraits of Jacqueline and Paloma Picasso are pinned to the walls, surrounded by drawings, notes, and found objects. Strong beams of light slice diagonally across the room, highlighting various artworks and casting long shadows, conveying an atmosphere of intense and prolific creation.
