Henri-Georges Clouzot posing for the correct camera angle. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

Director Henri-Georges Clouzot demonstrates the correct camera angle during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Seated on a wooden crate, he is captured in profile, his arm extended with a paintbrush poised before a canvas held steady by an assistant. Dramatic side lighting isolates Clouzot's focused expression and the abstract artwork, creating a scene of intense creative concentration within the dark studio environment.
