Henri-Georges Clouzot. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot, in silhouette with a cigarette holder, observes the dramatically lit set of his film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. A strong spotlight illuminates a freestanding wooden panel displaying two abstract artworks, while an artist’s easel stands to the right. The stark, directional light creates deep shadows, lending the sparse scene a theatrical and mysterious atmosphere.
