Pablo Picasso and David Douglas Duncan. La Californie, Cannes 1960.

In the cluttered studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, a shirtless Pablo Picasso listens intently to photographer David Douglas Duncan, 1960. With hands clasped, the artist focuses on Duncan, who gestures as he speaks. The room is a dense collection of creative works and personal objects, from a still-life painting and a bronze bust to a poster bearing Picasso's name, which hangs from a large wooden cabinet amid various masks and sculptures.
