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.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1955, Pablo Picasso is captured during the filming of "Le mystère Picasso." Viewed from behind, the artist, wearing a patterned shirt and shorts, is deeply engrossed in his work. He leans toward a large canvas, using a fine brush to create a dynamic, Cubist-style composition. The stark black-and-white painting portrays a dramatic moment in a bullfight: a large bull's head confronts a stylized, upside-down human figure, representing the bullfighter caught on the animal's horns. His workspace is cluttered with brushes and jars.
