Pablo Picasso at La Californie, Cannes 1961.

Pablo Picasso stands mid-motion in his studio at the Villa La Californie, Cannes, 1961. He is surrounded by a dynamic, creative chaos in the elegant, high-ceilinged room. Behind him, a large canvas of a stylized figure in a hat leans against the wall below a Cubist painting. The space is filled with art and materials—bronze busts, whimsical sculptures, easels, and drawings in various states of completion—with every surface occupied by the evidence of his prolific work.
