Carnival. Nice 1950.
A lively street scene from the Nice Carnival in 1950 is dominated by enormous, grotesque papier-mâché heads. At the center, a woman wearing a domino mask and dotted with confetti smiles as she playfully raises a small cup towards the pipe of a giant, caricatured male head. This prominent figure features devilishly pointed ears and a sly grin, while another stylized female head with coiffed hair and a pearl necklace stands nearby. The street is filled with other costumed figures and spectators, capturing a dynamic moment of joyous, surreal celebration.
