Picasso working on a bucolic pastoral scene on drawing paper which was to serve as background for the film "Le mystère Picasso" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on a bucolic pastoral scene for Henri-Georges Clouzot's film "Le mystère Picasso." Shirtless and wearing dark shorts, the artist stands before the vast line drawing of mythological figures, including a faun-like creature playing a flute. To the right, a young woman in a striped shirt sits on a block. Stark lighting from the left casts dramatic shadows across the spartan studio, capturing the raw, creative atmosphere of the film set.
