Cutout cardboards and metal sculptures, mostly inspired by Jacqueline’s features. Studio de la sculpture. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974. (photographed after Pablo Picasso's death)

In Pablo Picasso’s sculpture studio at Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins, photographed in 1974 after his death. A collection of abstract, Cubist-style heads, mostly inspired by the features of his wife, Jacqueline, crowds the dusty floor. Crafted from cutout cardboard and painted sheet metal, the artworks feature bold planes of vibrant color accented by strong black lines that define fragmented, multi-perspective views. Long shadows cast from an upper-left light source add depth to this scene of a creative space left behind.
