Pablo Picasso and "L'homme chien" (Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit). During filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.,
In a garden at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1959, Pablo Picasso observes a surreal scene during the filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée." With arms folded, the artist intently watches Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, who portrayed "L'homme chien" (The Dog Man). Barefoot and clad only in swim briefs, one of the muscular young men adjusts an elaborate mask resembling the head of the Egyptian god Anubis, as another man documents the moment with a vintage twin-lens reflex camera.
