Pablo Picasso during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso stands with hands on his hips at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. Clad in dark shorts and slippers, the artist is surrounded by his work in the spacious, high-ceilinged studio. Large-scale canvases and free-standing cutout sculptures with bold, primitive-style patterns share the space with a wooden scaffolding tower and filmmaking equipment suspended from the ceiling.
