Pablo Picasso and Henri-Georges Clouzot. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, director Henri-Georges Clouzot observes Pablo Picasso during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso". The two men are separated by a large vertical panel. On the left, Clouzot stands behind a bellows camera, watching intently. On the right, Picasso, in a white sweater, is seated on a wooden crate, leaning towards another that serves as a table for a wine bottle and a palette. A powerful studio spotlight creates a dramatic, high-contrast effect, illuminating a line drawing visible through an opening in the central panel.
