One day Quinn asked Pablo Picasso if he could photograph the top floor studios. He agreed and prcoeeded to take out, one by one, old and new paintings from his collection. This work Pablo Picasso remembered Quinn photographed him painting in 1955 (see 550853 - 550929). Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1967.
At his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, Pablo Picasso agreed to let Edward Quinn photograph his studios in 1967. Dressed in a patterned shirt, the artist smiles as he takes out paintings from his collection. Here, he maneuvers a large Cubist canvas of a reclining nude—a work he recalled Quinn had photographed him painting in 1955. Another of his works is propped nearby, as a woman watches warmly from an open doorway, lending the scene on the stone patio a candid, informal quality.
