The making of "La plage à la Garoupe II" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, artist Pablo Picasso stands before the large canvas of "La plage à la Garoupe II," a work in progress. Dressed in a light-colored polo shirt and dark trousers, he fixes an intense gaze on the viewer. With his arms crossed, he extends an index finger to point at a stylized dancing figure within the abstract composition. Dramatic lighting from the left casts a strong shadow of the artist across his own creation.
