In a moment of intense focus, Pablo Picasso is photographed at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Wearing a dark tank top, his face and muscular arms are sharply illuminated as he works on the painting "Nature morte." In the foreground, his tools rest on a cluttered table. For the film, Picasso drew on translucent paper stretched over a specially constructed frame, allowing the camera to film the drawing’s birth from the reverse side.
