Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

During the filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955, director Henri-Georges Clouzot, in a striped shirt, observes a shirtless Pablo Picasso at work. At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Picasso stands with his back to the viewer, painting a large, stylized cubist nude. Captured from an elevated perspective, the scene reveals the creative clutter of the film set, where cameras and light stands are positioned amidst paint cans, canvases, and electrical cords strewn across the concrete floor.
