If I could choose the studio of any artist to use myself, without a doubt it would be Picasso’s one at ‘La Californie’ in Cannes; an amazing building imbued by all the drawings, prints and paintings that Picasso created there that reflect its character and the – obviously exaggerated – Mediterranean good life that he and his family and friends seemed to enjoy there.

Picasso at La Californie in 1956. Interesting to note the rocking chair and moldings above the doors that appear in many of his paintings and drawings. Image: www.museupicasso.bcn.cat
