At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso’s monumental painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" is seen in progress during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Composed of several joined pieces, the large panoramic work is tacked to a studio wall. The painting’s distinctive Cubist and Surrealist style is rendered in a palette dominated by deep blue, black, and white. In the foreground, a photographer’s color calibration chart, squeezed paint tubes, and other tools rest on a workbench, documenting the artwork’s creation.
