"Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, a collage by Pablo Picasso is propped up during the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso." The large, horizontal work depicts a reclining female nude constructed from cut-outs of colored paper and outlined in bold black ink. She gazes at the viewer from a vibrant, patchwork background of geometric and floral patterns. In the dim light below, a cluttered workbench with open jars of paint and brushes reveals the artist’s materials.
