Pablo Picasso and Pierre Baudouin. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

In the cluttered studio of his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, Pablo Picasso gestures expansively towards an array of his artworks in 1959. He is in conversation with Pierre Baudouin, who crouches on the paint-splattered floor to examine the canvases. Dominating the scene is a large painting on an easel depicting a somber family with elongated figures, while other works in cubist and abstract styles are visible throughout the creative space.
