Artwork location: France
The masterpiece before us is a black and white photograph of Picasso in his work environment, rich in intriguing and revealing elements of his creative process. The work captures an intimate and chaotic scene, where every detail tells a story. At the center of the image, the shirtless artist wearing white shorts and a maritime cap stands proudly. His posture, confident and assured, seems to defy traditional artistic conventions. He holds a mask in his left hand, a powerful and mysterious symbol perhaps evoking the duality of identity and the dialogue between the artist and his creations. The setting is a cluttered room that serves as both a studio and a creative sanctuary. A large mirror with an ornate frame stands behind him, reflecting the artist's aura and visually enlarging the space. On the dresser in front of the mirror, there is a plethora of diverse and enigmatic objects, ranging from paint pots to statuettes. This organized disorder testifies to the creator's intense and bubbling artistic process. To the left, a chair covered in fabrics, perhaps costumes or fabric samples used for future art projects, adds a touch of mystery and implied color to the scene. The floor is strewn with canvases and sketches, indicating a boundless creativity and a multitude of projects in progress. The inclusion of the unframed artworks casually placed against the dresser suggests constant reflection and a perpetual evolution of artistic ideas. These works are both a reflection and a product of this environment teeming with creativity. The entire composition is an ode to the artistic spirit and an invitation to enter the rebellious and fertile world of a creator in perpetual exploration. This photograph does not simply depict an artist and his studio; it captures the very essence of the creative act, where order and chaos blend harmoniously to give birth to art.

Presentation
Photographer and plastic artist born in 1930 near Belfort and died in 2016 in the Var, André Villers started photography in 1952 thanks to Pierre Astoux, a teacher, during his stay at the Vallauris sanatorium following bone tuberculosis. It was in 1953 that he met Pablo Picasso who gave him his first camera. Following this meeting, André Villers produced many portraits of Picasso but also a joint work. He produced portraits of artists such as: Alexander Calder, Pierre Soulages, Salvador Dali, César, Tapies ... In 1970, he began to experiment with other techniques for his photographs such as the creation of his negatives from layers, cutting. The collections of his works are in the Nicéphore-Niépce Museum.
