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 in 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso stands with his hands on his hips in the vast, high-ceilinged space. The artist, wearing dark shorts, is surrounded by his creations. To his left is a large Cubist canvas, while to his right stand several flat, painted cut-out sculptures. The raw, industrial film set features wooden scaffolding supporting other paintings, exposed ceiling beams, and a large studio lamp that casts a dramatic light upon the scene.
