Pablo Picasso, in plaid trousers, gestures emphatically while speaking with visitors in his studio at the Villa La Californie, Cannes, in 1956. Listening with intense focus are, from left, Swiss collector Anna Blankart, artist Alberto Magnelli, and his wife Susi Magnelli-Gerson. The group stands before a large, unframed Cubist painting of fragmented female figures, its modernism stark against the studio’s ornate architecture.
