At the Matarasso gallery in Nice, politician Maurice Thorez smiles broadly, his hands resting on a cane. Beside him, the writer Louis Aragon looks on with a gentle expression. They are joined by Aragon’s wife, Elsa Triolet, and her sister Lilja Brik, muse of Vladimir Mayakovsky, for a private viewing of Pablo Picasso’s illustrated books. The group attends the exhibition “Un Demi-Siècle de Livres Illustrés” under the gallery’s fluorescent lights in December 1956.
