Pablo Picasso is filmed for the documentary "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. In this behind-the-scenes view, the silhouette of a large motion picture camera and its operator dominates the foreground. The camera is aimed at one of the artist's paintings—a reclining nude in a modernist style—which is brightly illuminated against a studio wall. The surrounding crew and equipment remain in deep shadow, creating a sense of focused activity.
