In 1955, at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, director Henri-Georges Clouzot documents Pablo Picasso at work for the film "Le mystère Picasso." From a high angle, the shirtless artist is captured from behind, intensely focused on a large canvas depicting a reclining female nude. The artwork is dated "29.8.55." in its corner. In the foreground, Clouzot’s crew operates a large motion picture camera, its lens aimed at Picasso amidst an array of studio lights, cables, and art supplies that fill the industrial space.
