"La Californie", seen from the garden, with the pigeon loft constructed by Pablo Picasso himself. This side of the house faced south, and on the top floor where Pablo Picasso worked and fed the pigeons, he could see the Mediterranean. Cannes 1961. Today: Pavillon de Flore, 22 Avenue de Coste Belle, Cannes.
A low-angle view captures an ornate, arched loggia on the south-facing facade of “La Californie,” Pablo Picasso’s villa in Cannes, 1961. The lavishly carved stonework frames a balcony where several pigeons are perched within a wire mesh enclosure—a dovecote constructed by the artist himself. This was the top floor, where Picasso worked in his studio and fed the birds, enjoying a view of the Mediterranean.
