Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
From a high angle, Pablo Picasso works shirtless in the Studios de la Victorine in Nice during the 1955 filming of the documentary *Le mystère Picasso*. With his back to the camera, he paints a large modernist reclining nude, the canvas dated ‘24.3.55’. A film crew surrounds him; a cameraman kneels behind his camera in the foreground while others observe the scene. Cables snake across the concrete floor of the busy studio, which is filled with lighting panels and production equipment.
