The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso’s painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" is seen as a work in progress. The wide, high-contrast canvas rests on a cluttered shelf among paint cans and brushes. Its dense composition depicts a chaotic scene with two large, distorted nude figures surrounded by smaller forms scattered within a space fractured into geometric planes. Above the artwork, the number "63" is scribbled on the wall.
