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.

A drawing of a rooster glows on a backlit screen at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. Created for the film "Le mystère Picasso," the work is part of a sequence that saw an initial bouquet transform into a fish, then this cock, and finally the head of a faun. In the surrounding darkness of the studio, a collection of CINZANO ashtrays and bottles rests below the easel, while the faint image of a face is discernible in the shadows above.
