Picasso Painting on Glass

in Art | February 12th, 2010 Leave a Comment

A deeply memorable scene. Picasso at his home in Vallauris, painting on glass with a camera rolling on the other side. The scene is an outtake from Visite à Picasso (A Visit with Picasso), a 1950 film by Belgian filmmaker Paul Haesaerts. The full film, running 20 minutes, can be watched in its entirety at The Internet Archive, along with many other classic movies. (See our list of free online movies for more.) For good measure, we have also added an excerpt from the 1956 film Le Mystere Picasso, by Henri-Georges Clouzot, otherwise known for Les diaboliques (1955). Thanks MS.
