A close-up of the top of a sideboard. Pablo Picasso used every bit of available space to display at clutter of objects, here including an old jam jar labeled "vernis" (varnish). Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (Photographed after Pablo Picasso’s death.)

Photographed in 1974 at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, a sideboard top reveals the eclectic clutter Pablo Picasso accumulated after his death. He used every available space to display a mix of folk art, natural curiosities, and personal trinkets. Here, a large wooden sculpture stands behind an old jam jar labeled "vernis" (varnish), pieces of coral, a whimsical ceramic figure, and a bottle of Pisco Italia, illustrating the artist's private world of collected objects.
