Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau. During filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. At Villa Santo Sospir of Francine Weisweiller. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.
Viewed from a low angle, Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau stand on a lush balcony at the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The photograph was taken in 1959 during the filming of Cocteau’s "Le Testament d’Orphée". Picasso, wearing a dark flat cap, stands behind an ornate metal railing with a bamboo base. A slatted canopy shades the men, while dense foliage surrounds them, its texture emphasized by the high-contrast black and white photography.
