Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, director Henri-Georges Clouzot films Pablo Picasso for "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. With intense concentration, Picasso leans over a makeshift table of wooden crates, his hand reaching for paints. Clouzot, hand to his chin, observes the artist from behind a large bellows camera. The innovative technique of the film is visible: a line drawing appears on a translucent screen, allowing the camera to record the creative process from the reverse side as the work comes into being.
