Pablo Picasso discovers the city of Antibes in 1920 and ties a strong relationship with this city who will incite him to go back as soon as he can until 1946. The Pablo Picasso holidays in Antibes are always colorfull. The tile shine in red, the green gardens, the deep blue sea and the yellow sun appear as the Picasso trade mark at this time. Picasso draws many sketches on books or sketch books and use it in Paris because he doens't own any studio in Antibes. He receives also people like his mother and his Russian wife Olga meets some people who belong to the French Riviera Russian community. Picasso experiments new ways of painting by using canvas in which he integrate texture, cardboard and models. During World War II Picasso stays in Paris but after the war he goes back to Antibes. Here the Grimaldi castle director Dor de la Souchère let him work free inside the castle between September to November 1946. Picasso will make seventeen canvas by sometimes using the castle canvas collection like the famous "Gobeur d'oursins".
