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

During the filming of *Le mystère Picasso* at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso’s large painting, “La plage à la Garoupe I,” rests on a cluttered shelf. Composed of multiple panels in black, white, and grey, the complex modernist work features two large, stylized central figures flanked by smaller scenes and abstract shapes. The surrounding paint tins, wood scraps, and charcoal sketches scrawled on the wall evoke the informal, work-in-progress atmosphere of the studio environment.
