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

The ground-floor sculpture studio at Pablo Picasso’s home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, photographed in 1974, the year after his death. A long wooden workbench is crowded with modernist sculptures and ceramics, including a large, patterned owl, a dark vase with striped handles, and several stylized heads. More artworks fill the densely packed space, with painted cut-out figures on the tiled floor and abstract, totemic forms standing against the rough stone walls.
