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 works on "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. The large, complex modernist painting is seen in progress, its stark black, white, and grey composition dominating the frame. The cubist-style artwork features a dynamic central group of two intertwined figures, flanked by smaller, fragmented symbolic forms and figures in architectural settings. Below the canvas, a cluttered workbench with paint cans and brushes indicates an active workspace.
