Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (Photographed after Pablo Picasso’s death.)

Photographed in 1974, a year after Pablo Picasso’s death, his studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins is a scene of creative chaos. A fisheye lens captures the expansive room, with its high, arched ceiling and floors strewn with art supplies and canvases. Easels display works in progress, a desk overflows with materials, and a long cabinet holds a collection of tribal sculptures. Numerous artworks lean against the walls and furniture, the prolific workspace preserved as the artist left it.
