During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. For the film, a special frame was constructed with a translucent surface, illuminated from behind. This allowed the camera to capture the birth of an artwork from the reverse side as Pablo Picasso painted. Seen here in profile, dressed in a tank top and shorts, Picasso applies a bold, black stroke to his "Nature morte." In the dimly lit studio, the glowing canvas and the artist's intense focus are the central elements of the scene.
