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.

During the making of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, the director and Pablo Picasso are captured in conversation. Seated in director's chairs, Picasso leans forward with his hands clasped. Behind them, the large, nearly-finished canvas "La plage à la Garoupe II" rests on a workbench littered with art supplies. A single, strong light source illuminates the scene, creating a high-contrast, intimate atmosphere within the rough-walled studio.
