"Tête de femme". La Californie, Cannes 1956. - Photo by Edward Quinn

"Tête de femme". La Californie, Cannes 1956.

A corner of the studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes reveals a creative disarray in 1956. On a high wooden shelf, the large ceramic bust "Tête de femme," painted with bold black stripes and graphic features, presides over the scene. It is accompanied by a smaller, unpainted sculpture and a bottle of "ANIS DEL MONO." In the foreground, a desk is piled with papers, sketchbooks, an abstract pencil drawing, and a small, ancient-looking ceramic oil lamp on a metal stand.
