Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
A high-contrast scene from the making of Henri-Georges Clouzot's film "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Shirtless and seated on a wooden crate, Pablo Picasso works intensely on a piece just out of frame. Before him, director Clouzot kneels to operate a camera on a low tripod. The studio floor is a network of cables and equipment, while large spotlights illuminate the artist and a towering panel in the background, which features a figure painted in bold black outlines characteristic of Picasso’s work.
