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

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, a shirtless Pablo Picasso works on the film "Le mystère Picasso". Seated on a wooden crate, his figure is silhouetted against a large, illuminated screen. With a brush extended, he works on a creation that began as a bouquet before becoming a fish, a cock, and finally the head of a faun. A makeshift shelf beside him, its leg held in place by a rock, holds jars and boxes, some of which are labeled "CINZANO".
