During the filming of *Le mystère Picasso* in 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured from behind, his silhouette set against a brightly illuminated screen. Seated in his workspace at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, he is engrossed in the drawing *Nature morte*. For the film, a special frame was constructed with a translucent surface, allowing the camera to film the artwork from the reverse side as it was being born. The glowing screen serves as the sole major light source in the dim studio, creating an intimate and focused atmosphere.
