Edward Quinn filming ceramic sculptures. Musée Pablo Picasso, Antibes 1972

At the Musée Pablo Picasso in Antibes in 1972, Edward Quinn looks through the viewfinder of a large camera to film a collection of ceramic sculptures. Dressed in a striped shirt, he works within a dimly lit, blue-hued studio. On a table before him, stylized female nudes are dramatically lit from the side by a studio spotlight, casting long shadows. A larger, abstract white sculpture stands on a pedestal in the background.
