Centre de la Photographie de Mougins
Picasso’s close friend, photographer André Villers, chronicled the artist’s Mougins years in black-and-white photos. Images line the walls of an ancient medieval home: Some are hilarious, such as the photo showing Picasso sitting down for breakfast in his trademark Breton shirt, pretending he has croissants for fingers. From 2021 this archive has been exhibited at the new photography center alongside Villers portraits of personalities like Salvador Dalí and Edith Piaf. Harder hitting temporary exhibitions have included “Amexica” in 2023, which detailed politics and tragedy on the Mexican/United States border.
