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

One of Pablo Picasso's abstract creations for the film "Le mystère Picasso," captured at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955. The artwork is characterized by a dynamic interplay of thick, dark, curvilinear lines and softer, shaded biomorphic forms. A single, continuous-looking line meanders across the surface, looping to define shapes against areas of gray wash that give the forms volume and texture. Along the bottom edge, thin vertical drips of dark paint are visible, hinting at the fluid process of its creation.
