During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Pablo Picasso working on "Tête de femme" with colored ink. He 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.
During the filming of “Le mystère Picasso” at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso contemplates his work "Tête de femme." For the film, he drew with colored ink on a translucent surface stretched across a frame, allowing a camera on the reverse side to record the drawing's creation. This technique makes the artwork glow as if lit from within. Dressed in a tank top and shorts, the artist rests his chin on his hand, his focus entirely on the illuminated piece before him in the dimly lit studio.
