Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
Director Henri-Georges Clouzot observes as Pablo Picasso, shirtless and seen from behind, works on a large canvas during the filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso". Captured from a high angle at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, the scene is filled with the paraphernalia of both art and cinema. A large film camera is pointed at the artist, while coiled cables and lighting equipment share the concrete floor with paint tubes and reflector boards, all focused on documenting Picasso's creative process.
