Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot studying a catalog of tapestries. Pablo Picasso used cut-outs for the two paintings "Nature morte sur une commode", 1955 and "Femme nue allongé" or "Grand nu allongé". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
In a moment of quiet collaboration, a shirtless Pablo Picasso and film director Henri-Georges Clouzot study a catalog of tapestries. At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Clouzot places a hand on the artist's shoulder as they intently examine a floral pattern. This research informed Picasso’s use of cut-outs for his paintings "Nature morte sur une commode" and "Femme nue allongé," both completed that year. Warm, directional light enhances the scene's focused intimacy.
