Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, director Henri-Georges Clouzot films Pablo Picasso for the documentary "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. From a high-angle perspective, the shirtless artist is seen from behind as he paints two abstract, reclining nudes on a large canvas. A vintage film camera is trained on the painter, while several onlookers, including a man smoking a pipe on the floor, observe the creative process unfold on the brightly lit set. The date "21.8.55" is visible in the upper right corner of the artwork.
