The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
"La plage à la Garoupe I," a large, complex painting in a modernist, cubist style, rests on a cluttered studio shelf. The panoramic composition is a work in progress, captured in 1955 at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Two large, blocky nudes dominate the left, while the right is more fragmented and abstract. A photographer's grayscale card sits before the canvas, amidst paint cans, jars, and other supplies, situating the artwork within its working environment.
