The Definitive Collection, London 2001, p. 515, ill. 855 In August 1949, when Capa paid Picasso a second visit on the Riviera, he also spent one day photographing Henri Matisse in his apartment in the luxurious Hotel Regina in Cimiez, a district of Nice. The 79-year-old Matisse liked to work part of each day in bed, surrounded by his cats. At the time he was working with a model of the convent for Dominican nuns in the Riviera hilltown of Vence, designing a series of murals for the convent chapel. (Whelan 2001, p. 514) Als Capa im August 1949 Picasso zum zweiten Mal an der Côte d’Azur besuchte, verbrachte er auch einen Tag mit Henri Matisse in dessen Wohnung im luxuriösen Hotel Regina in Cimiez, einem Stadtteil von Nizza. Der 79-jährige Matisse arbeitete gerne einen Teil des Tages im Bett, umgeben von seinen Katzen. Zu dieser Zeit arbeitete er mit einem Modell des Klosters der Dominikanerinnen in der Riviera-Hügelstadt Vence und entwarf Wandmalereien für die Klosterkapelle. (Whelan 2001, S. 514)
