Pablo Picasso and Hjalmar Boyesen. He collaborated with Pablo Picasso 1956-1958, and executed some mosaics for him. La Californie 1956.

At his villa La Californie in 1956, Pablo Picasso is captured in conversation with Hjalmar Boyesen. While Picasso speaks, Boyesen, wearing a v-neck sweater and glasses, listens intently. Boyesen collaborated with the artist from 1956 to 1958, executing several mosaics for him. Behind them, Picasso’s own modernist paintings hang against the ornate classical moldings of the wall, capturing an informal moment between the two men.
