“The sight of Picasso letting down his hair—so to speak—is a stunning departure from the artist’s usual forbidding presence. No modern artist was more intense, more formidable, than Picasso. Here, he shades his lover, François Gilot from the glare of the Riviera sun, as his nephew savors the incomparable scenario. Years later, Gilot said that the picture of the clowning moment had been possible because Capa was a friend.”
