Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
Pablo Picasso is captured from behind at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, during the filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso." Shirtless, he stands before a large canvas, applying paint to a stylized, abstract reclining nude dated "24.3.55." The spartan studio is filled with artist's materials, with bowls and tools on a low shelf and brushes near a cardboard soap box on the floor. In the foreground, a large piece of out-of-focus film equipment gives the scene an intimate, observational quality.
