Pablo Picasso during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso contemplates an arrangement of his artwork. With his back to the viewer in the vast, dramatically lit studio, he stands hands on hips, clad only in dark shorts and sandals. To his left is a large cubist canvas; to his right, constructed sculptures—a totemic figure and a stylized horse—are marked with bold, primitive patterns. Exposed beams and scaffolding complete the raw, creative environment, capturing a moment of intense focus.
