The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
In 1955, at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso’s panoramic painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" rests on a cluttered shelf during the making of the film "Le mystère Picasso". The complex, multi-scened cubist composition depicts a beach with stylized figures, including a man with a sun for a head and a prominent central head. To the right are small figures at café tables and a large, seated figure in profile composed of sharp, geometric lines. The canvas sits on a paint-splattered ledge with various artist’s supplies.
