During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Pablo Picasso working on "Nature morte". Pablo Picasso had a frame constructed on which he could stretch a transluscent piece of paper. He drew on one side, and the camera filmed the drawing being born from the other side. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.
During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured in a moment of intense concentration. His left hand is raised to his jaw in a gesture of contemplation. Dramatic, low-key lighting illuminates his weathered, expressive face and simple undershirt, casting the background into deep shadow. For the film, Picasso drew on a translucent surface, allowing Henri-Georges Clouzot’s camera to record the birth of a drawing as if by magic from the reverse side.
