Pablo Picasso after working on "La Célestine" where he had to do his signature backwards. "Le mystère Picasso", Nice, Studios de la Victorine 1955.
Pablo Picasso takes a moment in his studio at the Victorine in Nice, 1955, after working on "La Célestine" for the film "Le mystère Picasso." For this piece, he had the unusual task of signing his name backwards. Dressed in a simple tank top and shorts, the artist leans forward with hands clasped, gazing intently at the camera. Beside him, the large black and white canvas rests on its easel, its bold, abstract figures dominating the frame.
