Pablo Picasso and oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau. La Californie, Cannes 1958.

In 1958, at his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso listens intently to oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The artist, seen in profile wearing a light-colored sweater, rests his hand on the back of his neck. Facing him, Cousteau, dressed in a suit and holding a pipe, is captured mid-sentence. The room, filled with artworks including a large cubist painting and a sculpted bust, provides an intimate backdrop for their engaged dialogue.
