During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Pablo Picasso working on "Nature morte". Pablo Picasso had a frame constructed on which he could stretch a transluscent piece of paper. He drew on one side, and the camera filmed the drawing being born from the other side. Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso is filmed from behind while creating 'Nature morte' for the film 'Le mystère Picasso'. For this unique process, a frame held a translucent surface, allowing a camera to film the drawing as it was born from the reverse side. Wearing a sleeveless shirt in the darkened studio, Picasso extends his arm, his brushstrokes forming bold, abstract lines on the brilliantly illuminated canvas, which glows in stark contrast to the cluttered table of art supplies in the foreground.
