The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

Pablo Picasso’s large-scale canvas, "La plage à la Garoupe I," is captured in progress at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The complex, abstract composition in black, white, and grey is filled with stylized figures and fragmented scenes. The painting rests on a paint-spattered ledge, with rough sketches and the artist’s materials visible in the workspace.
