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.
In the starkly lit Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso stands shirtless during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Gazing seriously at the camera, he is positioned between a blank canvas on an easel and a large drawing. This bucolic pastoral scene, rendered in a fluid, calligraphic style with fauns and nudes, was created to serve as a background for the film. The dramatic lighting illuminates the artist and his work, casting long shadows against the deep black of the studio.
