Picasso opens a window onto the Riviera, permitting the viewer, at least graphically, to wallow a while in the balmy breezes and lucid colors of the sun-sated paradise.Picasso opens a window onto the Riviera, permitting the viewer, at least graphically, to wallow a while in the balmy breezes and lucid colors of the sun-sated paradise. One of the aspects of Picasso's genius - be it in posters or paintings - that is altogether awesome is his ability to create permanence and vitality from a few, relatively-harried, series of brushstrokes, evoking whatever he chooses with the facility of doodling. Two versions of the design exist, the other a ""Cannes"" specific variant.
