Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, with Pablo Picasso. In one of the most amazing art films ever made, Pablo Picasso draws and paints on transparent canvases and the viewer watches his pictures come into being step by step, almost like animation. Most of the pictures were intentionally destroyed after the filming, so this movie is the only record of them. (France, 1956, color, subtitles, 35mm, 78 min.)
