Pablo Picasso is captured from behind during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. A silhouette against a brightly lit surface, he works on the still life "Nature morte." For the film, a frame was constructed to hold a translucent sheet, allowing a camera to film from the reverse side as the drawing came into being. The glowing artwork is the primary light source in the dim studio, illuminating a nearby workbench cluttered with the artist's tools.
