Pablo Picasso with "Centaure". Filming of "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Pablo Picasso peers with an intense gaze from behind his sculpture "Centaure" during the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot's "Le mystère Picasso." Taken at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, the photograph captures the artist partially concealed by the large, totemic figures constructed from flat, painted panels. Dramatic lighting from the left casts strong shadows of both Picasso and his creations across the studio floor, offering a glimpse into the celebrated film that documented his creative process.
