Pablo Picasso and Clouzot. The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is seen in profile applying his paintbrush to a large, dark canvas. To his right, film director Henri-Georges Clouzot stands in still, attentive observation. The year is 1955, during the making of Clouzot's film "Le mystère Picasso," for which the artist is creating "La plage à la Garoupe I." Dressed in a polo shirt, Picasso brings the painting’s stylized white figures to life against the black background, his focused creation highlighted by the studio lights.
