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

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso stands shirtless on the set of the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. Illuminated by a spotlight in the cavernous space, he is captured in a thoughtful pose amidst his creations. To his left, a large cubist painting leans against a ladder, while to his right stand several painted wooden cut-out sculptures. The suspended film lights create a dramatic, theatrical atmosphere, offering an intimate glimpse into the artist's world as it was documented for the screen.
