The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
The large canvas for “La plage à la Garoupe I,” created for the film “Le mystère Picasso” at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955. The complex modernist painting depicts a panoramic seaside scene in a stark, graphic style with bold outlines and areas of solid black, white, and grey. Stylized figures populate the composition, including a muscular man with a sun for a head. Below, a paint-spattered wooden shelf is cluttered with the artist’s tools: cans, trays of pigment, and brushes.
