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 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso’s large Cubist painting rests on a makeshift easel. It portrays the dramatic moment in a bullfight when a matador is caught on the horns of the bull. The canvas is dramatically lit from below, casting a bright glare on the cluttered shelf of art supplies beneath it while plunging the upper part of the raw studio into deep, purplish shadow. The photograph’s strong color cast lends the workspace an intense atmosphere.
