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

A Chevereau motion picture camera is positioned to film one of Pablo Picasso's drawings during the making of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955. The artwork, held by clamps on an easel, is brightly illuminated, creating a dramatic contrast with the shadowed foreground. The modernist piece features several stylized figures rendered in bold, expressive lines. In the shadows beneath the workbench, the legs and feet of an unseen person are partially visible.
