Pablo Picasso, Luis Miguel Dominguin and Paulo Picasso. La Californie, Cannes 1959.

Pablo Picasso, bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin, and Picasso’s son Paulo stand on the sun-drenched terrace of the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959. Viewed from the shadowed interior through an ornate archway, their figures are dramatically backlit. The strong sunlight casts long shadows of the three men across the floor, where the distinct silhouette of the photographer is also visible. The high-contrast composition is framed by elements of the artist's studio, including a sculpted bust on an easel-like stand.
