Pablo Picasso with female body mask Nevimbumbao Vanuatu, a present received from Matisse. La Californie, Cannes 1957.
Pablo Picasso stands in his studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957. He holds a cigarette and looks directly at the camera, his right hand resting on a large sculpture seated on a wooden chair. The piece is a female Nevimbumbao body mask from Vanuatu, a gift the artist received from Henri Matisse. The cluttered workspace is filled with canvases, a birdcage, and a ceramic cubist bust on a stand, its floor splattered with paint.
