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 canvas "La plage à la Garoupe I" is captured in an unfinished state during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Resting on a wooden support, the large modernist work depicts a complex beach scene in bold black outlines. Stylized figures—including a central couple with a sun-like head—populate a composition framed by simplified houses and a skeletal pavilion. Below the painting, a makeshift shelf holds an array of paint cans and brushes, indicating an active workspace.
