Exhibition Pablo Picasso 1969-70 (Avignon I), Palais des Papes, Avignon, 1.5.-30.9.1970.

Inside the cavernous Palais des Papes in Avignon, vibrant paintings from the exhibition "Pablo Picasso 1969-70" create a striking contrast with their ancient, stone-walled setting. Hung against rough-hewn blocks, the large, colorful canvases are dramatically lit by a mix of natural and artificial light. A lone figure stands in silhouette, gazing at a painting of a character in a red coat and tall hat, holding a sword. The lighting highlights the rich textures of both the historic stone and Picasso's modern canvases in an atmosphere of quiet contemplation, May 1970.
