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

Pablo Picasso, pictured during the filming of 'Le mystère Picasso' at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955. He stands partially obscured behind a dark panel etched with a simple face, creating a double mask effect. The artist is surrounded by his large, stylized sculptures constructed from flat panels on tripod-like legs, including the 'Centaure' (Centaur). The figures, painted with bold, white, primitive-style patterns, are dramatically lit from the side, casting long, stark shadows across the bare floor.
