Pablo Picasso in the room that became known as the viewing room. He would arrange his work so that he could see it from the living room every time he passed. He liked to bring his close friends there for a private viewing. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

Pablo Picasso stands with arms crossed in what became known as the viewing room at his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, 1964. He arranged his work here so he could see it from the living room, often inviting close friends for private viewings. Surrounded by his creations, he is flanked by a Cubist portrait and an unframed canvas of a woman holding a cat. The energetic space is filled with other paintings and sculptures, including a stylized horse's head and abstract forms, all awaiting his critical eye.
