Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
Pablo Picasso at work during the 1955 filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. Shirtless and seen in profile, the artist is deeply concentrated as he applies his paintbrush to a large horizontal canvas. The painting, a stylized reclining nude, bears the handwritten date "24.8.55." The candid studio setting includes a shelf of art supplies and, visible on the wall, a large film reel—a clear sign of the cinematic project underway.
