In the grand, art-filled studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso gestures animatedly as he speaks with his guests in 1956. Listening intently are, from left, Swiss collector Anna Blankart, artist Alberto Magnelli with a cigarette dangling from his lips, and his wife Susi Magnelli-Gerson. Dressed in plaid trousers, Picasso is the focus of the group, captured in a candid moment of discussion before a large painting, with another massive cubist work leaning against the wall behind them.
