About this audio guide
This guide to the Centre de la photographie de Mougins, near Cannes, begins on a street in Vallauris in March nineteen fifty-three, when a young photographer recovering from years in a sanatorium raised his camera at Pablo Picasso. It follows André Villers into Picasso's studio, where scissors, paper and light-sensitive sheets turned into something closer to play than work. Listen from inside the old stone presbytery that once carried Villers' name.
