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’s monumental painting, "La plage à la Garoupe I," is propped against a wall during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The complex, black and white composition features a central panel of two intertwined classical nudes, flanked by vignettes of simplified figures on the left and fragmented Cubist forms on the right. Below the canvas, a cluttered shelf holds jars, bowls, and tubes of paint.
