Pablo Picasso’s painting studio. He was always delighted to start work in a large, empty room, but gradually as objects came into the house that he thought might serve him as sources of inspiration or be integrated into a mixed-media sculpture, he found a place for everything  and then contented himself to work in a small corner. All around various art supplies, lithograph proofs and photographs, with Pablo Picasso’s works against the wall here and there. At least six easels were always set up. Pablo Picasso liked to keep things visible and always left an easel empty in order to have at least one free space to work. He often included these easels, sometimes holding blank canvases in his "interior landscapes. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (Photographed after Pablo Picasso’s death.) - Photo by Edward Quinn
