"Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

During the filming of Henri-Georges Clouzot's "Le mystère Picasso" at Nice's Studios de la Victorine in 1955, a large bellows camera captures the creation of a new work. Pablo Picasso's fluid ink line drawing of three figures, held in a wooden frame, is harshly illuminated by a powerful studio lamp. While Picasso himself is seated just out of view, his legs and feet are visible in the shadows beneath a cluttered shelf holding ink pots and other art supplies.
