Pablo Picasso portrays a stage in the bullfight when the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.
During the filming of "Le mystère Picasso" in 1955, a large painting by Pablo Picasso rests on a cluttered mantelpiece in the Studios de la Victorine, Nice. The unframed, cubist-style canvas portrays a visceral stage in a bullfight when the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. The figure’s face is a grotesque, mask-like visage of shock, while the shelf below is strewn with the detritus of art-making, including paint-stained rags and lumps of pigment.
