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 creates "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. The complex painting depicts a bustling seaside scene in an abstract, geometric style. A stylized female figure stands central to a beach populated with simplified forms, circular umbrellas, and a pier. The composition, characterized by fragmented perspectives and strong lines, features a hotel and Ferris wheel overlooking the water, capturing the scene with a flattened sense of space.
