Something begun as a bouquet has become first a fish, then a cock, and finally the head of a faun. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

For the film 'Le mystère Picasso', a drawing undergoes a metamorphosis. What began as a bouquet became a fish, then this cock, and finally the head of a faun. Here, the stylized rooster is rendered by Picasso in thick black marker on a brightly lit surface, its body filled with abstract patterns instead of feathers. The scene was filmed at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
