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.

Artist Pablo Picasso, in a vibrant yellow polo shirt, is captured in conversation with director Henri-Georges Clouzot at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The two collaborated on the film "Le mystère Picasso," for which the artist created the monumental canvas seen behind them, "La plage à la Garoupe II." With Clouzot’s form largely in silhouette, the dramatic lighting illuminates Picasso and the painting, which rests on a workbench laden with paints and tools.
