Pablo Picasso painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

With his back to the camera, a shirtless Pablo Picasso applies a brushstroke to his large canvas, "La plage à la Garoupe I". This moment of intense creative focus was captured in 1955 at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso". The artist, wearing dark shorts and sandals on a bare concrete floor, is surrounded by professional lighting equipment that illuminates his modernist work while plunging the rest of the film set into deep shadow. Below the canvas, a long, makeshift shelf holds an array of art supplies.
