Pablo Picasso painting "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, Pablo Picasso contemplates his painting, "La plage à la Garoupe I", in 1955. Shirtless and in dark shorts, the artist stands with arms crossed before the large Cubist canvas, which rests on a workbench cluttered with paint pots and brushes. The studio’s raw, working atmosphere is captured in the details on the concrete floor—a "LUX" soap box and glass bottles—and the strong shadows cast by the lighting.
