A Sicilian marionette in golden armour sits slumped in the sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, photographed in Mougins in 1974 after Pablo Picasso’s death. Among the eclectic objects are the “Tête de mort,” a weathered stone head, and “Femme enceinte,” a carved wooden club with a stylized head.
