Pablo Picasso with "Centaure". Filming of "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso," the artist works on his sculpture "Centaure." Dressed in a light t-shirt and shorts, Pablo Picasso stands in profile, his concentration focused as he carefully places a long staff topped with a feather-like pom-pom into the monumental figure's raised hand. The totemic sculpture, made from dark-painted wood with bold white patterns, is illuminated by strong side-lighting that casts dramatic shadows across the concrete studio floor.
