Studio de la sculpture. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (Photographed after Pablo Picasso’s death.)

Photographed in 1974, the year after Pablo Picasso’s death, the sculpture studio on the ground floor of his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, reveals a creative chaos. Within the room’s rough stone walls and archways are numerous abstract and figural works in various stages of completion. A tall, slender sculpture with a radiating, sun-like head stands at the center, while a large, textured head and a stylized animal figure with horns occupy the foreground. Workbenches, tools, and materials are scattered throughout the space.
