Description

A smoke with Henri-Georges Clouzot

Marvelous vintage matte-finish 7 x 9.25 photo of Picasso shirtless and seated at a table having coffee alongside filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot, signed in the lower left corner in blue ballpoint, "Picasso." Picasso raises his arm as he explains something to Clouzot, who listens closely as he smokes. The reverse bears pencil notations by the restaurant owner where the photograph was obtained in Antibes, 1956. In fine condition. The French film director Henri-Georges Clouzot directed the documentary film The Mystery of Picasso (1956), which was declared a national treasure by the government of France.
