Henri-Georges Clouzot and Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
A high-angle view captures Pablo Picasso at work in the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the 1955 filming of the documentary *Le mystère Picasso*. Viewed from behind, the shirtless artist studies a large, abstract canvas of a reclining female nude, dated '11.8.55'. Nearby, director Henri-Georges Clouzot observes from his chair amid the raw materials of both filmmaking and painting: a camera on a tripod, coiled cables, palettes, and paint cans cluttered across the concrete floor.
