A view of the living room as it opened onto the garden. La Californie, Cannes 1960.

Sunlight floods the living room of the villa La Californie in Cannes, 1960. Grand, ornate French doors, featuring an intricate Art Nouveau-style window at their peak, are thrown open to a lush garden. The high-ceilinged interior is filled with an assortment of furniture, including a cluttered round table, a Windsor-style chair, and a large canvas leaning against a wall. The open doorway reveals dense foliage and palm trees, blurring the line between the creative studio space and the outdoors.

  • On right "Le chat", 1941. Spies:195.II
  • Left, in front of the window: Element for a décor (ballet Héraclès 1953 >> Artwork(s) not yet identified)
