Maurice Thorez, leader of the French Communist Party, smiles warmly at the center of a group in Vallauris on 29 March 1958. Dressed in a dark overcoat and hat and leaning on a cane, he is present for the unveiling of Picasso's mural, "The Fall of Icarus," which was destined for the UNESCO building in Paris. An elegantly dressed young woman and a boy stand nearby as press photographers, one with a prominent flash, document the gathering.
