Edward Quinn filming ceramic sculptures. Musée Pablo Picasso, Antibes 1972

At the Musée Pablo Picasso in Antibes, 1972, Edward Quinn peers through the viewfinder of a large camera mounted on a wooden tripod. Wearing a striped shirt, he films a collection of stylized ceramic sculptures of nude female figures arranged on a long table. A studio light in the background casts a cool, blue-toned, dramatic side-light over the scene, which also includes a larger, abstract bust on a pedestal to the left.
