Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
During the filming of 'Le mystère Picasso' at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso works under the watchful eye of director Henri-Georges Clouzot and his crew. Captured from a high angle, the shirtless artist is seen from behind, standing before a large canvas of a reclining female nude, which he has dated "24.7.55". The cluttered studio is filled with filmmaking equipment, with canvases leaning against the walls and paints resting on a shelf as the private act of creation becomes a documented event.
