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.

Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

Pablo Picasso stands in the viewing room at his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, 1964. The artist, dressed in a light-colored polo shirt and dark trousers, looks directly at the camera, one hand in his pocket. He arranged his recent works in this space, filled with Cubist canvases and sculptures, so he could see them from the living room or share them with friends in a private viewing. On the hexagonal-tiled floor in the foreground is a photograph of an American skyscraper, for whose entrance Picasso had been asked to create a sculpture.
