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

Pablo Picasso’s mural "La plage à la Garoupe I" is captured in progress at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The large, complex painting, rendered in black, white, and gray, is composed of multiple abstract and cubist scenes. A central panel depicts two animated, intertwined figures, flanked by sections with stylized human forms and deconstructed shapes. The artwork is tacked to a studio wall, with paint cans and supplies visible on the cluttered work surface below, grounding the monumental piece in its creative environment.
