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

At La Californie, his Cannes villa, Pablo Picasso stands with bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin and his son, Paulo, in 1959. They are seen as silhouettes from within a room, framed by an ornate, arched doorway that opens onto a sunlit patio. Strong backlighting casts their long, dramatic shadows across the floor, where a large bust sculpture sits in profile on a stand, hinting at the home’s studio-like atmosphere.
