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" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955, Pablo Picasso paints a critical moment in a bullfight. The abstract, expressionistic work captures a bullfighter caught by the horns of the bull. On the left, the simplified, reclining human form is rendered in broad, soft strokes. To the right, the complex, beast-like head of the bull looms over it, its dark, jagged lines conveying intense energy and creating a dynamic, tense interaction.
