Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
Pablo Picasso, shirtless and seen from behind, works on a large painting at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. The photograph was taken in 1955 during the filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso". Wearing dark shorts and sandals, the artist applies paint to a stylized reclining nude rendered in shades of grey, black, and white. The date "29.8.55" is visible in the corner of the canvas, which rests on a low easel. Flanking the scene are large panels, part of the film's lighting setup.
