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, Pablo Picasso constructs "La plage à la Garoupe I," a multi-layered assemblage for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s 1955 film, "Le mystère Picasso." A dominant, totemic figure of geometric shapes stands on a deep blue canvas, to which various paper drawings are affixed. These include a simply rendered family group and stark, black-line characters in motion. A gray, sculpted head is also visible in the complex composition, which rests above a studio workbench holding bowls and canisters.
