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 in 1955, Pablo Picasso’s large panoramic painting, "La plage à la Garoupe I," is pictured during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Resting in the studio environment amidst paint cans and brushes, the vibrant work is divided into several scenes on a black background. The composition moves from simplified figures on the left to two large, dynamic nudes in the center, concluding with a fragmented, cubist-style arrangement of geometric shapes and stylized figures on the right.
