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 in 1955, Pablo Picasso’s large collage, “La plage à la Garoupe I,” is seen as a work in progress. The complex assembly of painted paper cutouts is tacked to a board against a studio wall. A prominent, totemic figure dominates the center, surrounded by fragmented shapes and line drawings. Below, a workbench holds the artist's supplies: ceramic bowls, tins, and tubes of paint, offering a glimpse into the creative process.
