Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. The making of "La plage à la Garoupe II" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

In the warmly lit Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso and director Henri-Georges Clouzot are captured in conversation during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. Picasso, wearing a yellow polo shirt, sits facing Clouzot, whose back is to the camera. Behind them, the large canvas of "La plage à la Garoupe II" dominates the scene, propped on a workbench cluttered with paint cans and brushes. A bright studio light casts a strong glow and deep shadows, contributing to the intimate and candid atmosphere of the moment.
