Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, a shirtless Pablo Picasso is captured at work during the 1955 filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso." He leans into the large canvas, applying paint to an abstract, cubist-style reclining nude composed of bold, curvaceous forms. In front of the painting, a narrow shelf holds his palette and tubes of paint. The date "24.8.55," handwritten in the upper right corner of the artwork, marks the moment of creation.
