Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
A shirtless Pablo Picasso stands with his back to the camera, working on a large canvas at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. This moment of creation was captured in 1955 during the filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso." The painting depicts a stylized reclining nude and is dated "24.8.55" in the corner. The artist, in dark shorts and sandals, is surrounded by palettes and tubes of paint, while a large film camera, out of focus in the foreground, attests to the unique circumstances of the setting.
