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 streams through an arched French window into Pablo Picasso's famously disordered studio at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1961. Amid the creative chaos, large sculptures in painted sheet metal and plaster stand on the parquet floor. The elegant paneled walls serve as a gallery, with portraits of Jacqueline and Paloma Picasso surrounded by countless drawings and notes pinned directly to the surface. A large wooden table in the foreground is buried under art supplies, reflecting the intensely prolific environment.
