On a typical visitor's day at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, Pablo Picasso examines the first copy of a deluxe edition of poems by Pierre Reverdy, for which he created the illustrations. Gathered around him are (from left) Louise Leiris, owner of the Leiris Gallery in Paris, his son Paulo, and the artist Pierre Baudouin. As Picasso stands with arms crossed, Baudouin leans over the round table, engrossed in the bold, abstract graphic art displayed on the open pages. The light-filled studio is characteristically filled with canvases and creative works in progress.
