Development of goat painting. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.

This film still from Henri-Georges Clouzot's "Le mystère Picasso" captures a stage in the development of a goat painting by Pablo Picasso. The animal’s head, seen in a stylized, cubist profile, is constructed with bold outlines and fragmented planes. A prominent, curved horn is rendered as a white crescent, while the eye is an outlined oval. The documentary was filmed at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
