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*, Pablo Picasso works on a bold and expressive painting that captures a dramatic stage in a bullfight. The large canvas depicts a black bull, its head thrown back, having caught the matador on its horns. The fragmented figure of the bullfighter, clad in an ornate yellow-and-gold costume, lies contorted with a look of horror. The work rests on a cluttered studio ledge amidst paint cans and brushes at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955.
