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," a large Cubist painting by Pablo Picasso is seen resting on a cluttered studio shelf. The artwork portrays a dramatic moment in a bullfight: a stylized matador, inverted as if caught on the horns of a large, dark bull. The surrounding space is filled with artist's materials, including a palette and jars, against a wall with faint sketches. The photograph was taken at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1955.
