Picasso working on gouache with Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels and water color. Picasso always liked surprises and in his work he encouraged unpredictable outcomes. La Californie, Cannes, Easter (good Friday) 16.3.1961.
In the light-filled studio of his Villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso works on a gouache with Caran d'Ache wax oil pastels and watercolor. He stands in profile, his hand extended in a gentle gesture amidst the creative clutter. Art supplies cover a small table, with a Hédiard jar holding paintbrushes. Behind him, a Cubist portrait hangs on the paneled walls, which are lined with canvases. A proponent of chance, Picasso encouraged unpredictable outcomes in his work. 16 March 1961.
