Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie near Mougins where Pablo Picasso lived since 1961. The house was once owned by the Plunket family who gave the painter an Afghan hound called Kaboul as a moving-in present. When Pablo Picasso had filled the available rooms with his paintings and drawings, he had the terrace (left) covered to give him space for two more large studios. His bedroom was on the top floor, the living rooms and studio on the ground floor. Mougins 1962.
Pablo Picasso’s final home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, is seen nestled in a lush, tree-covered hillside near Mougins in 1962. A towering row of dark cypress trees creates a dramatic silhouette, adding to the villa’s sense of seclusion. The artist, who lived here from 1961, had the terrace covered to create two additional large studios for his prolific work, with his bedroom on the top floor. The former owners, the Plunket family, gave Picasso an Afghan hound named Kaboul as a moving-in present.
