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

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso creates "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso." The complex modernist painting renders a bustling seaside scene in a cubist and surreal style. Fragmented perspectives and geometric forms define the composition, which includes stylized, mannequin-like figures on the beach, small boats on the water, and a long promenade stretching across the background.
