La Californie, Cannes 1957.

The artist’s studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1957, is filled with abstract sculptures and paintings in various stages of completion. In the center stand dark, totem-like sculptures, one with a cruciform shape. To the right, an assemblage on a stepladder combines a ceramic pitcher with a flat, cubist-style head. On the left, a painting of a figure in a hat, rendered in a distinctive cubist style, rests on an easel. The high-ceilinged room, with its arched windows, is strewn with the materials of creation.
