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

A row of six large, vertical paintings by Pablo Picasso leans against a wall at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice. The photograph was taken in 1955 during the filming of the documentary "Le mystère Picasso." Resting on the bare concrete floor, the modern, abstract canvases feature distorted figures and fragmented compositions with strong contrasts. Among the works are a dense cubist piece, a still life with a skull-like form, and a dynamic scene of a figure wrestling a bull-like creature. A small line drawing rests against the final canvas.
