In 1956, on the occasion of his 75th birthday on 25.10., Pablo Picasso invited some friends. His art dealer friend, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Gustavo Gili, his Spanish publisher and Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso celebrates his 75th birthday on October 25, 1956. His partner Jacqueline Roque stands at the center, a prominent beaded necklace adorning her sweater. Beside her, Picasso, in his signature striped Breton shirt, holds a hand thoughtfully to his chin. In the background, art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and Spanish publisher Gustavo Gili share a smile. The intimate gathering is surrounded by the artist’s work, including a Cubist painting and several sculptures, offering a candid glimpse into his personal world.
