Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
In 1955, at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is filmed for the documentary "Le mystère Picasso." Seen from a high angle, the shirtless artist, wearing dark shorts and sandals, stands with his back to the viewer, observing a large, modernist canvas of a reclining nude. In the foreground, a cameraman crouches over his equipment. The studio’s raw, unfinished space is cluttered with palettes, paint tubes, and leaning canvases, with electrical cords snaking across the concrete floor.
