"La Célestine" where Picasso had to do his signature backwards. "Le mystère Picasso", 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 creates the ink and wash painting "La Célestine." For the film, which captured his process on a semi-transparent surface, Picasso had to execute his signature in reverse. This close-up shows the dynamic, expressionistic artwork held by clamps on a support structure. The shallow depth of field isolates the painting’s bold, calligraphic strokes from the blurred clutter of the surrounding studio workspace.
