Pablo Picasso working on first version of plate of a woman (Irène Rignault, Madame X), during filming of "Pablo Picasso", directed by Luciano Emmer. Madoura pottery, Vallauris 14.10.1953.
During the filming of Luciano Emmer's "Pablo Picasso," the artist is captured at his workbench in the Madoura pottery, Vallauris, on 14 October 1953. Hunched in concentration under a bare lightbulb, he paints the first version of a plate depicting Irène Rignault (Madame X). A camera, visible in the foreground, records the moment as a thin wisp of smoke rises from the artist’s hands.
