Pablo Picasso at work during filming of "Le mystère Picasso", documentary. Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso is filmed from behind for the documentary "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955. Shirtless, wearing dark shorts and sandals, the artist reveals a muscular back as he raises his right arm to paint. He works on a large canvas featuring a stylized reclining nude, which bears the date "29.8.55". The painting rests on a cluttered shelf, surrounded by the candid disarray of his temporary studio, including paint tubes, brushes, and other materials.
