This photo sequence was made during the making of Quinn’s film "Pablo Picasso l' homme et son oeuvre". "When Pablo Picasso was eighty-nine he asked Quinn to film him making a drypoint in order to demonstrate the steadiness of his hand". (Quinn in conversation with Marilyn McCully 1983)

At his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, Pablo Picasso works on the etching "Les coulisses du tableau: odalisque et peintre," 1970. The artist, then eighty-nine, had asked Edward Quinn to film him to demonstrate the steadiness of his hand. A fisheye lens captures an intimate, encompassing view of the cluttered room, with Picasso in a blue sweater vest focused on a piece of pink paper at his large, round wooden table.
