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

Picasso’s painting “La plage à la Garoupe I” is seen in progress at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Created for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s film “Le mystère Picasso,” the long, horizontal canvas features abstract figures in stark white on a dark ground, dominated by two large, intertwined nudes. In the studio setting, the work rests on a cluttered shelf holding paint cans, brushes, and a large animal skull. A boxy studio lamp is mounted on the wall to the right, and faint sketches are visible above the main artwork.
