Pablo Picasso working on first version of plate of a woman (Irène Rignault, Madame X), during filming of "Pablo Picasso", directed by Luciano Emmer. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 14.10.1953.
At the Madoura pottery in Vallauris on 14 October 1953, Pablo Picasso is captured on film by director Luciano Emmer. Seen in profile, the artist leans over a rustic workbench, intently focused on the first version of a ceramic plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X). Dressed in a dark pullover, he works the surface with a cloth amidst a clutter of glazes, brushes, and other pottery. The workshop’s rough plaster walls and a single bare lightbulb illuminate this scene of concentrated craftsmanship.
