Pablo Picasso showing linoblocks to Edouard Pignon and Hélène Parmelin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Shirtless in the art-filled studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso holds up a large linoblock for his friends, the painter Edouard Pignon and the writer Hélène Parmelin. During this informal review in 1959, one guest stands to observe the work in Picasso's hands while the other sits at a cluttered table examining a different piece. The room itself, with its ornate doors, hanging instruments, and stacked canvases, reveals the artist’s intimate creative environment.
