In the gardens of La Californie, Cannes 1961. - Photo by Edward Quinn

In the gardens of La Californie, Cannes 1961.

In the gardens of La Californie, Cannes, a striking white abstract sculpture is the central focus in 1961. Composed of flat, cutout planes assembled into a vaguely figurative form, the piece rests on a rough stone plinth amidst dense foliage. The black and white photography creates a stark contrast between the sculpture's bright, smooth surface and the dark, complex textures of the surrounding vegetation, which includes the spiky fronds of a palm tree.
