Edward Quinn filming for his documentary on Pablo Picasso. Musée Pablo Picasso, Antibes 1972. Unknown photographer

In a dimly lit studio at the Musée Pablo Picasso, Antibes, in 1972, photographer Edward Quinn films for his documentary on Pablo Picasso. He looks intently through the viewfinder of a large camera mounted on a sturdy wooden tripod, which is aimed at a collection of modernist sculptures. On a long wooden table, stylized terracotta figures and a large plaster bust are dramatically illuminated by a studio spotlight, casting strong highlights and deep shadows.
