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’s painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" rests on a workbench during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The large, complex canvas features a fragmented, multi-figure composition with a dominant palette of blue, black, and white. On the left, a towering, striped figure stands beside a classically rendered woman's head. The right is dominated by a reclining figure composed of intersecting geometric planes. Below, the workbench is cluttered with the artist's bowls, tins, and trays of paint.
