During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso works on his drawing "Tête de femme." To capture the creative process, a special frame was constructed to hold a sheet of translucent paper. Picasso drew on one side while the camera filmed the work’s genesis from the other. In the dark studio, the brightly illuminated Cubist face, with its bold lines and geometric patterns, appears to float above a table cluttered with the artist's materials.
