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, Picasso's monumental Cubist study "La plage à la Garoupe I" is captured during its creation for the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. Composed of various assembled panels, the dense artwork is filled with fragmented figures and symbolic elements in a stark black, white, and grey palette. A towering central figure with a sun-like head stands prominently. In the foreground, a cluttered workbench laden with paint-spattered cans, tubes, and mixing bowls confirms the busy studio setting.
