During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Pablo Picasso working on "Nature morte". Pablo Picasso had a frame constructed on which he could stretch a transluscent piece of paper. He drew on one side, and the camera filmed the drawing being born from the other side. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on his "Nature morte." For the film, a frame was constructed to hold a sheet of translucent paper, allowing a camera to film the artwork's creation from the reverse side as Picasso drew. The cubist-style still life is illuminated from behind, creating a stark, glowing contrast with the shadowed artist’s supplies—paintbrushes, jars, and bottles—cluttered on the shelf below.
