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 from behind, a dark silhouette against a brightly glowing surface. For the film, a frame was constructed with translucent paper, allowing a camera to capture the drawing's creation from the reverse side. Seated on a simple wooden chair, Picasso's bare arm is extended as he draws the bold, black lines of his "Nature morte," creating a stark contrast between the illuminated artwork and the surrounding shadows of the studio.
