La Californie, Cannes 1959.

The artist's studio at the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1959, is a scene of creative disarray, filled with artworks in various stages of completion. A tall, assembled wooden sculpture of a figure with a striped torso stands centrally. To its left, a "Toros" poster for Vallauris leans against canvases, below which is a painting of a double-faced cubist head. Other abstract paintings, cutouts, and a stylized white face sculpture are scattered among stacked frames and other materials, revealing the artist's prolific process.
