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 utilitarian setting of the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso and director Henri-Georges Clouzot converse during the making of the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. Seated in director's chairs, the artist listens intently as Clouzot leans forward, gesturing. Behind them, resting on a cluttered workbench, is the large, unfinished painting "La plage à la Garoupe II," one of the works created for the film. Stark lighting from the left casts strong shadows, focusing attention on the two men and the canvas.
