La Californie, Cannes 1957. - Photo by Edward Quinn

La Californie, Cannes 1957.

Pablo Picasso’s studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957. The grand room, with its ornate arched window, is filled with a variety of works. At the center, large, totemic sculptures stand before a white canvas. A composite figure sits on a high stool, its body a striped ceramic pitcher topped by a flat, cubist-style head. In the background, a classical white sculpture of a pregnant nude on a cluttered table contrasts with the more abstract pieces in the busy, creative space.
