Pablo Picasso reacts with joyful, open-mouthed laughter during a visit from a Soviet film delegation at Galerie Madoura in Vallauris, 1954. The animated group, including directors Grigori Alexandrov and Serge Youtkevitch, actresses Ljubov Orlova, Catherine Litvinenko, and Klara Luchko, and Picasso’s son, Paulo, crowds around the artist. All attention is focused on a large, stylized ceramic owl being presented, its bold patterns the center of the celebratory gathering.
