André Villers photographed Pablo Picasso over many years, creating an extensive record of the artist at work, at home and among friends in southern France. Their close friendship gave Villers access to Picasso's daily life and creative surroundings, resulting in portraits ranging from intimate observations to playful and experimental images. The partial solarization of this print reflects Villers' interest in exploring the expressive possibilities of photographic processes.
