In May-June 1946, Picasso creates a series of paintings and lithographs of Françoise Gilot, in which she is portrayed as a woman-flower. In summer he visits Nusch and Paul Éluard in Cannes. Then vacations in Menerba with Françoise. At the end of July, he visits the ceramics workshop Madoura, where he negotiates cooperation terms with the owners - Suzanne and Georges Ramié. In fall he is trying to use sea urchins, fish and other Mediterranean living creatures in his still lifes. On November 28, Nusch Éluard dies.
